I have IE6, I'm pretty sure I have the service packs on it and everything, and I'm running Windows XP Home. I sort of noticed this starting a month or so ago, but it's weird, even for .zip and .exe files it won't let me "Save Target As.." anymore. What could be causing this?

What do they do? Automatically download? I had a problem awhile back where .zips and .exes were automatically downloading to a Temporary Files folder on my hard drive. One of the WindowsXP service updates fixed the problem I think. Whatever it was, it fixed itself after awhile.

No, I can save them to a place. But sometimes I might want to save a webpage or a jpeg, and just opening it and right clicking save isn't very fast. "Save Target As" is always disabled when I try to use it on a link.

Re: "Save Target As.." isn't working in IE6 first i thought it was a virus .. but then here it is
The Microsoft Knowledge Base reveals that the option to save target as is greyed out and not available if you have the Content Advisor enabled in Internet Explorer. Normally, if you right click on a link you can choose to save or Print the file. But with the Content Advisor turned on, these options are not available to you because it would bypass the Content Advisor.
So to Tools->Internet Options->Content
Disable Content Advisor.
thanks also 2 HuhuFruFru.
