Thank you for your nice help & the good descriptions. :)

Saving the whole page is one way to solve that kind of prob, I do this very often. Mostly it seems to be the only way to get those 'unabled' pics on HD. But it is a lot to handle if you like to save many pics, as I do at times... ;)

---> Now I got a tip for you, if you don't already know:

When the whole netpage is saved into a folder (yes, in German it's 'eigene dateien' indeed - but only 'save as' seems to work, CTRL-S or german STRG-S won't work for some reason - it appears to be disabled in ANY I.E. menu on ANY computer i've seen so far... Thank you, Microshit!), I use a data-commander, similar to st. like the old Norton Commander. (This is still a very useful thing to keep you informed about whats goin' on in your system anyway...)

---> With this commander now it's quite simple to find the right picture file, because such a prog lets you SORT the files BY SIZE, if you wish. I do this very often, it's my recommended way of getting them on HD. The pics are now on top of the list, thumbs & others that are much smaller will stand far below. This works especially with st. like youtube vids and you don't have to look for it in the whole cache -DIR of your explorer, because of the simple fact that the vids have (mostly) a size of some MB and stand right on top in the commander window - voila! Now you can move them wherever you want to. And rename them, if you wish - just by hittin' ONE KEY. That's easy, I tell you; much better than the lots of mouseclicks you'd have to do in the windows... ;)

Now, what commander prog would I use?

My favourite tool would be the "Total Commander" ( trial version: www.ghisler.com ), it's very useful and has lot more capabilities than I seem to use; though it is rather simple to handle. If something better exists, I'd be really interested to know about.

Maybe you'll try and find it very useful?!  ;)

to WETINRED:

sorry, that won't work on a restricted pic on flickr (no icon above!), all you get then is a 43 bit file called 'spaceball' . It contains - of course - nearly nothing.

But thanks for your answer anyway. :)

to Telcontar:

seems I still got to learn a lot about the Pc. Your explanations are very interesting and useful, too.

Thank you!

to The Bishop:

yes! YES!! That's a way! Seems to be a great prog, though I'll have to get to know it better first, I'd say - this will enable the picture saving for me!

Hugs & kisses! (just kidding) - but a HUGE THANKS is for real! :) :)
