Hi All, I noticed that some websites containing images use the same filename for all images. For example, instead of different filenames such as image1.jpg, image2.jpg, etc., the website names all of their images with the same filename, such as "untitled.bmp". It's tedious to manually change the filename every time I want to save another image. The macro would work as follows: I right-click on an image and choose "Save Picture As...". The dialogue box appears "Save Picture". The macro would detect identical filenames already saved and automatically assign a new name before saving the image. Thanx, KeyBored

Hi All, My online banking website has a very short timeout period of 5 minutes. In other words, the secure online banking session times out after 5 minutes and I have to login again. There is no option on the website to increase this time period. I want to write a macro to extend the timeout period but so far nothing works very well. The website will not respond to pings. The only way to extend the period is to click on a link or to refresh the page. Any ideas? Thanx, Key Bored

Hi All, I'm looking for a macro that would automatically renumber and save an Internet Explorer image. I'm referring to the window "Save Picture" that pops up when I right click on an image. On some websites, the various images don't have specific file names; e.g. instead of T6998.jpg, the filename for every picture is "untitled". When this occurs, IE asks if you want to replace the image. You have to click "No", type in a specific file name, and then save the file. Ideally, the macro would sequentially renumber the files and save them. Thanx, Key Bored

Hi All, I wrote a macro as a workaround to return to the previous page in situations where the webmaster has used JavaScript code or some other dirty trick to disable the back button. The macro script consists of right-clicking the back arrow button on the IE toolbar, arrow down, arrow down, enter. There are a lot of ways to activate this macro, but the most convenient method in my opinion is to add a custom icon to the IE6 standard buttons toolbar directly adjacent to the back button. Is there a way to do this? There are many programs that add their own icons to the IE toolbar, but I don't have a clue as to how it's done. If it's not possible to add my own icon to the IE toolbar, is there a registry hack or other method? Thanx

Hi All, I am using Windows XP and IE6. I created a simple macro to go back to the previous web page after opening a link in the same window. The script is "<Alt>vob" (without the quotes) and the hotkey is F8. I assigned F8 to the thumb button on my mouse. My macro works if the link opens in the same window, but fails if the link opens in a new window. I created a second macro to close a new window, but I want to create one macro that covers both situations. In other words, I will be returned to the previous page if the link opens in the same window, but if the link opens in a new window, the macro will close the new window and return to the original window. I suspect that this could be done via logic, variables, window controls, etc. but I'm not familiar with these advanced features. Any ideas? One further question: Is it possible to tweak the registry or create a macro that will FORCE every link to open in the same window? This would be an even better solution than the above. It seems that I spend a lot of time closing numerous IE windows, and sometimes close the original window by mistake. I've always wondered why website developers think that we all enjoy this annoyance. Thanx, Key Bored
