Step 3: Click the OK to close the Outlook Options dialog box.
Step 4: Restart your Microsoft Outlook.

Notes:
(1) Because we have hidden the contact pictures from the email headers, it remains the blank picture placeholders in the People Pane. You can turn off the People Pane with clicking the People Pane > Off on the View tab.
(2) Although we can add photos for contacts in Outlook 2007, the contacts’ photos don’t display in associated email messages.
