When you view something on the web...see a picture you want to save to ya computer..when you hover over the picture with the mouse....4 little icons come up in the top left hand corner of the picture (Save,print,mail open)

Now this is where i would like a hand...

When you click the 'save icon' (the blue disc) it opens a window automatically at the folder 'my documents' ..

how do i change it to open the window in the section 'My Computer' so i can automatically save it to my 2nd harddrive...

any1?

 

I just tried.

If you select the folder you want to save them into (c:\pictures\porn\gay) then save, when you select the next picture it should default to that directory.

But when you go to another page it reverts back

 

what version of windows

 

XP at a guess for Smit Ranj.

 

U gotta make changes in registry


To change your own default save folder:

Open Reg Edit. Navigate to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders

Select the value Personal. Double-click it and change the data to your desired path. If you know what the NT environment variables are, you can use one here. Notice that the default uses the variable %USERPROFILE%

 

Ranj, does it again!!! Pf's own Bill Gates!!

 

also

i think u can use policy editor within windows mmc

 

Cue the next post from Smit... I've fooked the registry
