Saving images

Guest

When on the internet and trying to save an image, a window comes up saying
that access is denied. It does not matter what type of image I am trying to
save, people nature or anything else, the same message.
This is new so I am thinking that some setting got chaged recently without
my knowledge. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Try deleting temporary internet files...

IE>Tools>internet options>general tab>delete files button leave the checkbox
blank

Hi,
This might indicate a full or corrupted Temporary Internet Files folder.

First, clear the IE cache. IE> Tools> Internet Options> General> Delete
files (and delete offline content when that dialog pops up) It's often
recommended that the TIF folder be kept at about 50 MB (Settings.)

If that doesn't resolve the issue, follow the appropriate (for your OS)
instructions at http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/delcache.htm to delete the
Temporary Internet Files *folder* A new one will be created on restart.

Hope this helps,
Don

Hehe, ya know I have always wondered how that thing works... I have always
had mine set on automatic and it's currently set at 3663 MB and never a
problem.

Ever seen any docs on the principle of operation? It seems like chaos theory
to me :)

One thing that frequently goes wrong which even CacheSentry doesn't fix
is the creation of what might be called (borrowing from CacheSentry's use
of the word "stray") "stray directories".

Check for them as follows:
1. Open the TIF Viewer (Alt-T,O,Alt-S,V)
2. Append \Content.IE5 to the path in the Address bar
(I do it here because AutoComplete saves typing it later.
3. Copy that path to Clipboard (Menu-A, Menu-C)
4. Switch to a cmd window
5. and type: CD /D
6. (ensure trailing space on #5 <w>)
7. right-click, Paste
8. Press Enter
9. Enter: dir/a
10. Notice how many Dir(s) there are and subtract 2 from that number
11. Enter: notepad index.dat
12. Depending on its size (see #9) be prepared to wait a while...
13. Listed at the top (easier to see with Word Wrap on) you should see
the same list of directories.

If you see more real directories (e.g. than number calculated in #10)
they will be strays. You can further highlight them and subsequently
monitor them with dir/ad/o-d/tw (E.g. if they are never changed
you will notice them appearing as orphans at the bottom of the list,
older even than their parent. That could be a signal that the TIF
is corrupt and that it might be worthwhile cleaning it out.
Also, if the index.dat gets too big it could be a signal that it's time
to refresh it (e.g. by deleting the whole directory and letting it
regenerate.) As others have observed even when the TIF
is cleared carefully using the normal tool the size of its index.dat
may not change; so that's why stronger measures are sometimes
used to reinitialize it.

TY, most interesting and I will try that exercise later.

I have noticed that (example) yahoo emails seem to be duplicated in more
than one arbitrary directory, sometimes other things as well. Weird :)
