igarek77 Posted July 21, 2005 CID Share Posted July 21, 2005 Hi All OK, I have encountered a problem, I can't seem to figure out. When I try to download a MPG file or any kind of other movie file from the net, I click on the link and it automatically starts downloading to the TEMP folder. Before I had the choice to OPEN SAVE or CANEL. I didn't do any changes to the computer before this, and do not know how this happened. Any help would be appreciated Thanks.

php Posted July 21, 2005 CID Share Posted July 21, 2005 You have to right-click it and click Save As or Save Link As Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igarek77 Posted July 21, 2005 Author CID Share Posted July 21, 2005 that's the whole point I can't do that, because the link itself can be embedded in the picture so if I right click save as it's only going to save the picture but not the file itself, but when i click on the picture it srats to download the file.

MYRIAGON Posted July 21, 2005 CID Share Posted July 21, 2005 When I click on a link like that it auto plays in WMP, but if I right click I have to "save target as" if you just "save as" it will just save the picture, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

igarek77 Posted July 27, 2005 Author CID Share Posted July 27, 2005 Hi guys, thanks for the suggestions, I don't know what happened but I think I was in a blank stage and forgot about the save as ... feel dumb for the post, but I guess it was one of those days.
