Save As dialog box not working in IE, no registry settings to reset??

Okay, I'm stumped.

I have seen 30 solutions, and they all state to go into the registry
and edit the AttachmentExecute or "policies" section to adjust what
happens when a file is clicked on, but I don't HAVE those options,
they're just not there!

Somehow, the .mp3 extension has been clicked to open, which is a pain
because I need them to save from a flash file, and because I can't
right-click and "save as", it just opens.

I've tried to force IE to prompt me, that does nothing, and I don't
have the available options in the registry, even if I add the key, it
still doesn't work (not that I even know what the sub-key would be)

Please help! this is baffling me.

Thanks,

Nick

Ah ha!! Thanks to persistent searching, I found the solution. It has
nothing to do with previous registration edits, those don't exist.

What I did was search in "Classes Root" for mp3 as a key, and find any
"EditFlags" value - change whatever is 01 to 00 - I did this for every
one that I could find, opened IE again and it worked!

Change MP3 to whatever file name, and you've got a solution.

Stupid thinking for Vista to do this but eh... everyone has their flaws

Hi

Hopefully 31st time lucky. If I understand you correctly, you basically open
up regedit, and navigate via the left pane to

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell \AttachmentExecute\{0002DF01-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}

Your last 'click' should be on {0002DF01-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} in the
left pane. Then in the right pane you should (theoretically) see a list of
entries eg CompressedFolder, one of which should sound like it relates to
mp3 files. To resolve the problem you'd *delete* it from the right pane, not
add anything.

Hope that helps
