When ever i right click a picture in Internet Explorer and click Save as, instead of getting the name of the pic.. i get
name: untitled and .bmp

why is that ?
coz when i leave the mouse floatin over the pic for a few secs..the name appears..

The name that appears is not always the name of the file. That is why.

krusader, um no Ive been using IE for 4 or 5 yrs now..I always get a default name when i save a pic..suddenly every pic i wanna save is untitled and .bmp..
Even at my own personal homepage, i know i named pics and i have saved these pics from different pc's/ I always get the default Name as the one i had named it..

Hi CorruptedSanity,

I told you dat because I remember that the pic tags that appear when you move the mouse over a pic, can be customized. If you don't assing a name then the tag will display the name of the file instead.

I haven't paid much attention to it lately, but now that you brought it up, I made some experiments and found out that with gif pics you problem doesn't happen.

BTW, I like your sig. :)
