Hi there,

Yeah my computer does the same thing at times, usually when I am saving something that I got in an email.

What I do is click File on the browser and choose save as. This downloads the whole site and saves the pictures as what they really are. Then I just go through and delete the ones I dont want.

Sometimes its a bit of a pain but it works.

Don'y know why but deleting your temp internet files can sometimes cure this one if you're running internet explorer.
