I ALAWYS save the file (filters.txt) to the following location (by Right-clicking the file):C:Documents and SettingsMickApplication DataMailWasherPro, Is there any way that that I can: Save this particular file to the abovementioned Path, by default? Without disturbing Windows current, Save In My Documents setting? I am using WinXP Professional SP3 (fully updated).

I used to be able to grab a video clip form the internet and save it to my computor. Now when I grab a video with a wmv extension and do a "save target as" it only saves it as a htm file and does not grab the video itself.

I recently installed Win XP with SP2. After this, I am not able to save files using the "Save Target As" option in the Right click menu. For files with extensions like .exe and .zip clicking on the link opens a window that asks if I want to run the program or Save. If I select Save, I am able to save the file. But for files like .pdf I am not able to save because clicking on the link opens the Acrobat Reader plug in and the file opens in the internet explorer. How do I save pdf files?

I recently had to reinstall everything following a virus which locked me out of my pc. However since then, if I try and download certain .wmv files with Internet Explorer, they will not play on Media Player 10. These files worked absolutely fine before the reboot. I tried downloading the same files with a p2p program and they work with no problems with Media Player.Is there something I can do to reconfigure the way explorer downloads things, as I really want to be able to do things as I did before. I'm pretty sure it's an IE problem rather than a codec because as mentioned, the files work just fine when I download them with a different method rather than 'Save Target As'.
Thanks in advance for your help.

After I updated some programs to their most recent versions (adobe flash player 10, java 6 update 11) all of a sudden the option 'save target as' just disappeared in my options when I right click on my mouse and for instance want to save a .doc or .pdf file I see online. I'm using Firefox 3.0.4, but the option is also not possible when I try to do this with Google Chrome or Internet Explorer (A related problem (I think) is that from that moment onwards I was also not able anymore to download doc and pdf files in Firefox that were sent to me on my gmail account. I could download these files when opening gmail in Google Chrome however.)How do i get my 'save target as' function back?

I often want to restore files from the Recycle Bin to a common folder and do other such file operations. However, the limitations on C:RECYCLER access are annoying. Is there a way to:
a) change the location of the Recycle Bin?
or
b) reroute all or most deleted files to a specific folder (say, D:)?

Windows Movie Maker cannot save the movie to the specified location. Verify that the source files used in your movie are still available, that saving location is still available and that there is enough free disk space available, and then try again.
This error is driving me nuts.
Not matter what drive I select, no matter what files I use as a source, I STILL GET THIS ERROR.
I have 2 hard drives, one with 35 gigs free space, the other with 90 gigs of free space. I have 2 gigs of RAM. AMD 64 3700+ processor.

I'm starting up Outlook 2003 for the first time on my son's computer we put a new hard drive into, the old HD is hooked up through USB to an external HD case.When Outlook starts it asks for a location of the .pst file and I direct it to the external HD (F drive) thinking it will automatically import the old 85 meg pst file so we can save all the old emails, contacts etc. Unfortunately what it did was create a new where I directed it deleting the old .pst file completely, AARRGGHH, My question is, is there any way to recover all the lost files? I checked the recycle bin, no luck and am currently doing a search of the (external) F drive looking for the file.

It seems that the default view for all folders is the view with folders open on the left side of the folder. Clicking the X on the left pane or click off the Floders button on the tool bar changes the folders view to the Windows XP style folder view. Then going to Tools>Folders Options and cklicing the View tab, then clicking on the button, Apply to All Folders does not apply this change to all folders and resets the folder back to what it was before I made the change.

It's a mole hill of a problem, but it is a bit annoying to have to click on my principal drive ("C") every time I'm doing a "save". I have enclosed an excerpt of a screen shot of my "save as" window to display how the default drive being automatically selected is the "D" drive rather than the "C" drive that I use primarily. To be honest, I don't know whether this can be corrected by a software change, or whether it's the way the two hard drives are connected in my computer.

Hello everyone,
Before this, I've never had a computer problem that I could not solve. This, it seems, is out of my league. I'll appreciate any help I get on this issue..
First of all, let me tell you how this problem started..
I had Windows XP, but wanted to switch to Vista. I've already had Windows Vista come with the computer, but had formatted the hard-drive and installed Windows XP so that my computer would work faster. A few days earlier, I decided to give Windows Vista another shot. I formatted my computer, and installed Vista.
After installing Vista, I could not boot up the computer. I was getting a weird error when when attempting to boot. I thought I might've done something wrong when installing it, so I formatted again, and re-installed Vista. Still, I got the same error. I decided to go back to Windows XP..
Installing Windows XP was not a problem, but..now it seems that any time I try to save a file (any kind of file), be it a small text file created in Notepad or downloading something from the internet.. my computer automatically restarts itself. I had re-installed the Windows XP again because I thought I might've done something to it. At first, I could save files. I installed the video card driver, and the audio driver with no problems.
Than after a while and installing some other software (Windows Live Messenger and Pokerstars), I started to get the same problem.
I don't know how to fix this, please help..
I've looked around the forums, and unchecked the Automatically Restart box when encountering an error. But it hasn't fixed the problem..

Many times I save one file or word document or a web page in 2 to 5 different folders. Right now I do it by opening each folder separately and using save as dialog box. But this is redundant and takes up a lot of time.
