Hi I am running IE7 on Vista Home. When I try and save a jpg image from the
Internet, despite me selectging a fodler to save the file to, i get a
messages saying that for security reasons, IE was going to save the file to
a temporary files folder ( about 6 levels down). Even if I then go to that
fodler, i cant move the file.

Anyone any ideas why and how I get the files to save where I want them to?

thanks

If you like using Vista that is fine for you. You can improve your
experience by using Firefox 3. That browser is superior to IE7 even
under Windows and you can download it for free. There are also an
entire library of add ons and plugins. It is faster and more efficient
and you will not have these issues.

If you trust the site sufficiently to download from it you could ease
the security by making it a trusted site, that should allow you to
choose the destination. I guess its a setting in the 'downloads' section
of the zone security settings.
I don't know why you can't move the file from that deep temporary
documents folder as it is, my wife has worked that way but it's hardly
convenient anyway.
