Hi GB :-)
You don't mention the version of Windows you are using, which really is a must when asking for help in the newsgroups, but, try the following as it may apply to your OS and see if it helps: Save Target As and Print Target Commands Are Unavailable http://windowsxp.mvps.org/IEFAQ.htm#SaveTarget How to Change the Default "Save As" Location in Internet Explorer http://support.microsoft.com/default...-US%3BQ258867& How to Change the Default SaveAs Location in Internet Explorer http://support.microsoft.com/default...N-US%3BQ258867 also……… If you download as “Save Target As” it uses a the following Registry Key HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer Value of Download Directory To change the Save location - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main Value of SaveDirectory or.... To change the default folder to which Internet Explorer will save items, you must change the value for Personal in the following registry keys to specify the new location: HKEY_USERS\Default\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders HKEY_USERS\Default\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders also.... You can download TweakUI from here: http://www.microsoft.com/ntworkstat...g/NTTweakUI.asp The tab you are looking for is called My Computer and the lower area has a location of special folders option. For XP http://www.webattack.com/get/tweakuixp.shtml Restore download prompt: Go to Windows Explorer (Not IE) Tools>Folder Options>File Types. Scroll down to the file type in question and select it. Click Edit (or Advanced, depending on your Windows version). Check the box for "Confirm open after download". You should then get the "Open or Save" dialog for each download. The path to Folder Options may vary in your OS. Check the following: Explorer-View-Folder Options Explorer-Tools-Folder Options Start-Settings-Folder Options Start-Settings-Control Panel-Folder options. If still no joy, then try resetting the Internet Default settings: Go to Tools>Internet Options>Security and click the Internet Icon and click the Default settings button, close IE and see if that helps. Hope this helps. Jan  MS MVP - Windows IE/OE [DTS/AumHa] Smiles are meant to be shared, that's why they're so contagious. Replies are posted only to the newsgroup for the benefit or other readers.
