Can\'t save files in Internet Explorer 7
Hi
I'm having a problem with Internet Explorer 7. I can't save any files from web sites - what I mean is, when I right-click a link to a file the "Save Target As" option is greyed out and I can't click it, so I can't save anything.
In the previous Internet Explorer I didn't have this problem. Does anyone have any ideas why it won't work anymore?
Thanks :)

I've heard about other people who've had the same problem, and it's to do with Content Advisor being enabled.
This is a security feature in IE7 that allows you to put limits on what the browser is allowed to access, mainly for parents trying to block adult web sites and stop children downloading dangerous files.
To disable Content Advisor, on the Internet Explorer 7 menu at the top, go to Tools then Internet Options. Click on the Content tab and under Content Advisor, click Disable.
