HELP! Don't work "Save Object as" in menu

[Dmitry]

Dear All!
Help me, if anybody knows as.
In my Internet Explorer 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158 - do not work
function "Save object as..." at right-click mouse menu.

First time I find this bug some month ago - after SP1 install.
All features in IE - in default values now.

In the MSN Explorer "Save object as..." works correctly.

Help to fix it in my Internet Explorer.

Hi Dmitry

First try clearing your Temporary Internet Files and see if that helps:

Hi, Jan
If I understand correctly, to try resolve this - I must delete "index.dat"
files and all folders of my users too? They are contains only users account
info, not global, aren't they?
I have 4 users of my XP Pro (daughters and wife). And function "Save object
as..." do not works (disabled gray in IE right-mouse menu) at all 4
accounts...

Hi Dmitry

No, you don't have to delete the index.dat itself, just the files in the TIF
folder and Cookies. You should also keep the space alloted for the TIF
files to a minimum if possible. A full or large TIF file folder can be the
cause of many various problems with downloading, saving, viewing and so
forth, so it is best to keep the file size to a minimum, and clear it often.

Here's some information on the TIF files and how they work, which might also
help:

TIF & Cookies Information -

Temporary means Temporary. Ones in the regular TEMP environmental
variable folders can be cleaned out as soon as the program that uses
them exits. It is advisable not to do this automatically at the
'autoexec' level, because some software installs leave some files
there for use when the system reboots. But I have a 'clean it up'
batch file that I run in the registry HKLM Run key

Ones in Temp Files are only needed should you be likely to go back to
the page. In Internet Options - Settings button I suggest cutting the
space allowed down - say 50 MB is plenty - and leave it to its own
devices.

TIF and Cookies are in quite separate physical folders.

But in XP if you open TIF either direct in Explorer or via the TIF
Settings button - 'view files' in Internet Options, the contents of
Cookies is included. They are not deleted though if you use the
'Delete files' in Internet Options - there is a separate Delete
Cookies button.

(Aside - the above Delete Files and Delete Cookies buttons are also in
the IE6 and IE SP1 on the Tools | Internet Options | General tab).

Courtesy of Wesley Vogel:

When you empty the Temporary Internet Files folder in Internet
Explorer, files that start with the word "Cookie" may remain in the
folder.

These files are pointers to the actual cookies that are located in
the Windows\Cookies folder. To retain the association between these
pointers and the actual cookie files, they are not deleted when you
empty the Temporary Internet Files folder. However, if you manually
delete a cookie file from the Temporary Internet Files folder, both
the pointer to the Cookies folder and the cookie file located in the
Cookies folder are deleted.

Hi, Jan,
I have clean temporary internet files and cookies, but it do not resolve the
problem...
Also, MSN browser uses all TIF and cookies of IE, uses engine of IE and run
at this session/account coorectly - but IE run incorrectly (it's about "save
object as..."). Another way must be to resolve problem...

Hi Dmitry

Try the following and see if it might help:

Check the security settings in IE and your firewall. Try it at Medium or
Low, or disable it to see if it may be causing the problem.

Have a quick look at 'Tools > Options > Content tab, and see if the 'Content
Advisor' has been enabled. If so, try Disabling it to see if that helps.

Also, check to see if you have checked "Do not save encrypted pages to disk"
on the Advanced tab of Tools | Options, and the picture is on a page reached
by a secure https:// connection.

If these steps do not resolve your problem, please post back to this thread
with the details and any error messages.

Hope this helps
