Can’t save email attachments
When I try and download a “.wmv” file sent as an email attachment I have problems. Windows media player automatically opens and begins playing it. I want to save the file to my desktop but I can’t figure out how to do it. My PC runs on Windows XP and my works computer runs on Windows 2000. Any ideas how to save these types of files to my P.C.please?.
The problem is your wants to automatically open the attachment. While you can change settings on this, it’s difficult to explain without knowing what email program you are using.
Generally, attachments appear in the email with a paperclip icon or a list of attached files. If you right-click the attachment and select “Save To” you should then be able to save the file.

Thanks for your reply. I’m using Yahoo as my email browser. When you mentioned settings in my email browser it gave me the clue I needed, as I’ve sorted it out now. I can now download them.
Thanks & regards Jon
