Save as in IE

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.

CorruptedSanitY,

Check this out. There is also a link to an article regarding a similar issue on the right-click.
MS KB article

Hope that helps.

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.
