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

    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".

    Just a thought Profdlp, but can he find the registry fix at Kelly's Korner?

    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.
