When I see a picture in Explorer 8 which I want to save, I click on it and I get the save dialog box, but it always opens to the computer-wide box where I have to dig to get to the folder I want, even if I just saved a picture to that same folder a minute earlier. Firefox doesn't do this, you can actually designate what folder you want a file to be saved to every time, or at least make it save it in the same folder as the last file you saved. So how do you do this in Netscape? Major irritant since I save a lot of pictures while online.

Okay, I meant to put "Explorer" rather than Netscrape in the heading. Kill me.

I'm a little confused here. What do you want to do this with? You mention Firefox working correctly with what you want to do, then you ask how you do this in Netscape(which 1st, I didnt know was still around and 2nd should be almost identical to Firefox) but your second post sayw you meant to say explorer.
I'm assuming your problem is this: you find a picture you want to save, right-click and select save image as, and save it in a folder which you have selected. Then you find another picture you would like to save, and follow the same procedure, but it does not automatically save in the folder which you had just previously used. Correct?
I'm not really sure about that. When I save images, they are defaulted to the last folder that I have used. The only thing I can think of that the moment is to open the options menu, and under the general tab, select a different option under the downloads section.
As another posibility, you could use an extension that would do what you're wanting, but I cannot recommend one. It has been years since I have used one like that, and I really am not sure which would be a good one to offer.

Also, this will work with any "right click protected" pictures.
place the picture you want to the center of your explorer, so the whole picture is visible, make sure your mouse curser is off the picture, now press the "Print Screen" key on your keyboard, this will make a screenshot of your visible screen, and put it into the windows clipboard,
Now open a picture/photo editor (i use this one : http://www.paint.net ) and select paste. this will paste the full screenshot into it, now chop off the edges you dont want and save it.
