Tony,
You need to make sure the internet Explorer window is maximized. If it's
not, the Save Target As dialogue won't appear - except if you do a bit
of mouse-clicking around. The free Downloads manager paul has mentioned
sounds like a good idea and could solve the problem. However, i do most
of my downloading of non-executable files into My Documents.

MessageHi Tim,
Any tips so the system knows that it is a podcast when I press the apps
key?
In other words I'm getting everything except 'save target as' at times!
It's like that the system doesn't know that the link I'm going to hit
after the apps key is a podcast.
Thanks,
Tony

Hi Tony,
Have you tried hitting the apps key before pressing enter on the
download link? Doing it after will be too late as the download would
have begun already.
It might bring up that context menu where you can choose the saze
as option.

Tim,
For example I downloaded Audioview and it just went to a temporary
folder where it played but did not ask where I wanted downloaded to.
I tried to download a documentary from Mushroom FM and it did not
ask either where.
That file just played for a few minutes and then went round on a
loop.
I tried to download an album from the Sunday Indo and it would not
let me although I had the correct code but I could listen to the songs
alright!
It kept prompting me to install the latest flash which I did but no
joy!
I hit enter on a download link then immediately hit the apps key and
go down to 'save target as' and enter but I don't be asked where I want
the file saved to!
I think that say Audioview went to a temp folder something like
Winamp library.

Hi Tony,
Do you have a specific example we canlook at?
Your query is a little generic at the moment for people to give
constructive advice.

Hi Folk,
I try and download remembering 'the save as' and all of that and
firstly I
am not asked where I want the download to go!
The last programme I downloaded went to some sort of temporary
folder but
othertimes when I go to play a file it may only play for a few
minutes in a
loop!
Someone suggested to me that it could be a jaws issue!
I have jaws 11.
I also have the latest flash installed.
Any suggestions gratefully appreciated.
Doing my head in it is!
Tony Sweeney
