Save target as

[bikerboy]

I dont have the option to save the target as on anything. is this a setting that got changed or what? i just noticed this the other week and i thought it was the website but when it happened on multiple websites i realized it was my computer. thanks in advanced

in firefox, i don't have "save target as" either....i have "save link as" or "save image as" or even "save page as" ---what browser are you using?

What browser are you using?

See if you have this Registry key:
HKEY CURRENT USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Restrictions
Parameter: NoBrowserSaveAs

If this parameter is "1" then "File/Save As" menu is disabled in IE. To enable it set parameter to "0".

where do i go about finding this

Start>>>Run, type in regedit click "OK", then navigate to the path listed above.

ok so i got into using the run. then went to "Hkey current user/software/policies/microsoft/then there is no internet explorer menu. there is a registry key but that is it. now what?

Those look like a couple of great links, ronbo. :thumbsup:

The second one you listed looks particularly promising. One of my complaints with Windows is that a lot of the security hotfixes seem to merely disable something. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if that's the case here.

thanks for the link ronbo, i used the second one and it works now. thanks again! :thumbsup:
