is this in IE?

well ... I have to go so Ill just spit out what Im thinking


If your temp internet files/cache whatever gets packed and fills up, IE will start 1) preventing you from viewing source on pages, and 2) treat all online images as BMPs so if you save a gif from IE, you'll get a save as for a BMP.

to remedy this, just clear all that junk out from Tools > Internet Options...

hmmm, i went to tools>internet options>general then in the temp internet files section, i pressed the "delete files button" and nothing seemed to happen, and still, it see's them as bmp files.
