I've just started using my new desktop pc which I bought specifically to download stuff from the internet and to my horror it wants to save everything in my temp internet files folder. Does anyone know how to change this please? I've tried messing about with the security settings but that didn't solve it. I've seen a few threads on here but have yet to find an answer.

Now wishing I'd stuck with my old pc on XP!!!

Thanks

The problem I have is that I use a website to research my family tree and I used to just click on their Save icon (to save a specific image) which would bring up the windows Save As dialogue box. I am now using Vista instead of XP so everything is different anyway but after locating the destination folder through the dialogue box and naming the file i get this message -

"For your computer's security, this file was saved to the Temporary Internet Folder. Do you want to open this folder?"

I thought it was something to do with the security settings so tried to make it a trusted site but then it won't accept the address as it doesn't start with https (only http!)

I'm on Internet Explorer 7, which is also different to what I was using.

Thanks for persisting with this, but unfortunately right clicking doesn't solve it as the normal menu that appears isn't there, just Properties.

The image I'm tring to save isn't a normal picture, but a digital image on Ancestry.co.uk.

Thank you

Thanks very much for your help but I think it's been sorted. It was because I had my User Account Control on. Since turning it off it's been ok........phew!!!!!
