Saving Images

[Guest]

Up until a few days ago IE would save a file with the specific name that was
specified by the site ex.( pic2.jpg), but now it seems that everytime i try
to save an image to my hardrive, IE always sets it up as untitled.bmp. How
can i bring it back to the old settings?

Hi Deimos

Try the following and see if it helps:

Safely Delete the Temporary Internet Files

also...

First...open Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer)
Go to a folder where you have some of the .gif files
Highlight one then click on Tools on the top toolbar
Click on Folder Options>File Type tab
Scroll down the list until you find the .gif icon
Highlight it and click OK
Close Windows Explorer and then reopen
This should change the files to the .gif icon.

also.....

To restore the default file association, go to
http://www.dougknox.com/xp/file_assoc.htm
Download, unzip and merge the REG file, "JPE/JPG/JPEG Association Fix"
Some image/graphics programs will change file associations.

Hope this helps
