Notes from a paranoid site manager; I have been concerned about FTP account passwords also that I might pass out to various clients for transfer of technical data back and forth. Any chance these folders could be used for the same purpose? Also, how would one do a check search to make sure form mail is not being used on one's site. I don't use it, but if someone were to breach the security password wall of my site they technically could set up such distribution points. Is there a serch means to check for all such files on a site to be deleted? DB

step a: mouse arrow over the image. step b: rt click the mouse to get a dropdown. step c: select save picture as. step d: a menu pops up and I select the directory to save it in. In this case, my pictures. It is the same technique for all images anywhere on the web. You can alse left select the image, then drag it to a folder if you want, but that does not work with this one, so the attempt is somewhat successful. You can also use save target as, etc. db

Tracy, you asked which browser? Just IE Explorer 5.5. I normally can drag and drop an image ok could not with yours, but rt click save picture as works. dogbert

I tested it. rt click, 'save picture as' works fine. You said you were trying to prevent people from saving the picture? Back to the drawing board. Basically, if you post it publicly, it is out of your control, unless you want to get involved in chasing down your pictures by doing track searchs looking for the ADS hidden streams embedded in the pic. Some image software allows for copyright labels to be embedded, like Corel, but otherwise, so if someone steals your work, you can always go after them with the proof. I always put some kind of visual copyright notice on the image. The key is to not post stuff publicly that you don't want to be distributed or if you do, be sure to id the pic and post an image use policy. dogbert

Hey, KW, thanks for the test. I just tried the same thing again with IE5.5 (I have found 6.0 to run a little to slow for this ole 400 mhz laptop) and it worked. Go figure. It worked before except for last night; and to verify the cookies were the problem I repeated the test about 3 times including a reboot. md

http://www.Headstuf.com is the site. I don't recall setting anything to require cookies. But I am testing out Frontpage2002 and who knows what stuff goes on inside of the heads of Microsoft programmers. It is possible I could have flipped a switch somewhere unknowingly. md

I tried to access my own website last night and was unable to get to the site. I checked my browser and noted that cookies were turned off. When I turned them back on, I was able to access my website (headstuf.com). Is this a thing with the Linux servers or is there a switch I missed somewhere in my Frontpage publisher? Anybody should be able to get to the site with or without cookies on. How do I fix this? dogbert
