Save Target As...

Whenever I click on a html link to a file and right click and choose "Save
Target As...", my computer is taking an extremely long time to open "Save as"
dialog box. It doesn't matter if the html file is from the Internet or one on
my desktop. It also doesn't matter if the file I'm trying to save is from the
Internet or already on my computer. (I wrote a html file just to test this
problem locally.) It always takes a long time. Sometimes over one minute.

Anybody have a solution?

Background information. I had a nasty run-in with a backdoor virus
(crjd32.exe) which left my system in a complete mess. This is one of the last
remaining problems I have. The virus has been completely removed. I no longer
have any restore points to roll-back my system to.

is it the right click menu itself thats slow of the actual box that
appears? Do you have any network drives?

if the former, on the right click menu is there any extra 'crap' like
the myriad of winzip shortcuts etc. These add a bit of time to right
clicking.

If the latter, try this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/321126 I know it
says its for 2k, but hey...

Nopper to the network drives. I have only one internal drive on my computer
and I'm not connected to any network (except the Internet for those of you
who want to call the Internet a network). The kb you gave was to trouble
shoot slow dialogs for systems that had numerous network drives or network
drives that are no longer present. My computer doesn't fall into that
catagory.

But good try. You're on the right track that something is timing the dialog
box. To clarify: I'm not talking about the right-click menu. I talking about
the "Save as" box that opens up which gives you the choices on where to save
the file and allows you to type in a different file name if you want to.

Why don't you just copy / paste?
If I highlight *.html + right click, I do not get Save As option, uppercase
or
not. If I'm editing .html in *notepad, the File dropdown allows Save As and
the popup allows txt save etc.; Encoding Box allows ansi, unicode, unicode
big endian and utf-8.
Maybe it is having trouble with "Encoders"?
*If you are saving out of other than notepad, that might be problem.
Hmm, I have to say, Black Wolf Standing, one learns something every day; I
never heard of Unicode Big Endian before.
Also check Tools->FolderOptions->FileTypes->HTML

Hi Will,
You're misreading the problem. I don't have any problems writing or editing
html files. <html><head><title>This is html from really cool
website</title></head><body>See, no problem!<br><a
href="cool_file_to_download.zip">click here</a></body></html>

The problem comes from if I right click on the above link when the above
html file is opened in <insert your favorite browser here>. I choose "Save
Target As" and the "Save As" dialog box opens giving me a chance to choose
where I want to save the file and if I want to save the file using a
different name.

But thanks for your effort. All help is appreciated.
