OMG 3 years here!
I've got an arse of a problem with IE and AOL at the moment. If I click a link which is a direct download I no longer get the save to or open in current location option. In fact 5 times out of 10 the download doesn't even work and If it does a window will randomly pop up from nowhere showing me the file I thought hadn't downloaded but with no clue as to where it is on the hardrive yet it is usable.
The reason it's annoying is because I have now have no control as to where the files are going, whether or not they have been downloaded and I have no re use of them once I've used them. I can right click and save target as but files which require the use of a button or disabled right click web pages are out of my reach.
So far I've tried messing with my internet options, I'm using AOL 8.0 (please no jokes) and IE 6.0 both of which have the problem. I've also tried a system restore and I've tried manually searching for my downloads and found nothing suggesting that IE is defaulting to 'open from current location'.
Please help, the only thing I havent checked is viruses but my auto file scan would've picked anything up buy now so it seems unlikely.
