"error saving web page"

[enigma]

I get the message "error saving web page" whenever I try
to save a web page in Explorer.

When I go to File Manager, I see that every directory has
been set to "read only". I then go to uncheck the read
only option, but as soon as it has completed and I go to
have a look immediately at the "Attributes" in
the "Properties" option, it is still set as "read only".

Other applications (e.g. Word, Excel) seem to save OK,
but not Explorer.

How can I fix this? Please help!!

Hello,

The read only option is set by default and is a security feature of XP.
However, you can still read/write to any directory - as you have proven with
your Office applications.

Can you indicate which version of IE you are using? Also, what exactly is
the error message you are receiving?

Thanks,

Thanks very much for your reply.

The error message is "The web page could not be saved to
the selected location" with the title of "Error Saving
Web Page" in the blue bar.

The version of Windows is 5.1 (Build 2600) and Internet
Explorer 6.0.2800.1106

I hope this gives the information that might help get to
the bottom of this problem.

Thanks
