Save picture as - Internet Explorer/ Vista
Previous versions of Internet Explorer (including IE7 for XP) remembered the last save location of pictures . When I right clicked an image in a web site and have chosen
"save picture as" the save picture window offered the last save location by default even
when I changed the URL or the tab. The last save location was remembered until I closed
the explorer. Now in Vista I get the Pictures folder by default and the explorer forgets
the last save location when the web site changes and I have to re-select the preferred location each and every time. How could this annoying behavior be changed?

Ok, this should work
**NOTE: I found this answer online and it requires a registry edit so please BACK UP YOUR REGISTRY before trying this**

Open Registry Editor (Type regedit in Run dialog box and hit enter)
and navigate to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer

Now check the string (REG_SZ) value named Download Directory, change the path according to your need.

Restart IE to take effect.

Thanks for answering.
OK, what reg.entry should I actually enter if I wanted a "dynamic download directory"
that is I would like IE to save a picture by default to the directory where the previous picture was saved and remember it until I select another location or close the explorer?
Actually the XP version of IE7 works this way by default and so do all builds of Opera 9.
I know there is a way to make it. Actually a few days ago (miraculously) my Internet Explorer began to work in a the desired manner (the way I always wanted to) and I thought it was due to some MS update. Unfortunately I had to restore my OS to an earlier state because of serious issues in Media Center and the miracle was gone with system restore
