When you find an image you would like to save, place your cursor
over the image until the cursor changes to the shape of a hand.
Click and hold down the RIGHT mouse button until a pop-up menu
appears.
Drag the cursor down to "Save Image As" and then release
the mouse button.
A dialogue box that looks like this will open:
In the bottom right-hand corner is the "Drives" window. Select
the drive you want to save your file on by clicking on the down arrow to the left of
the white box. This will reveal all the drives available to you.
If you are saving to a floppy disk, select "A".
Under File Name, you can either accept the name of the file
that appears automatically or rename it by typing in the box.
In the window "Save File as Type," take note of the file
format (the three-letter file extension; .jpg, for example). Your
file will be saved in this format. Do not change it! (If you later
wish to change the format of an image, you must use a graphics
conversion program such as PaintShop Pro or LView Pro.)
In the "Directories" window, select the directory into which
you want to save the file. To select a directory, double-click
on it and the name of the directory will appear below the word
"Directories." This is the PATH to your file and indicates where
it is stored. You will need to return to this directory whenever
you want to recover the file to use it, so remember where you
put it!
When everything is set to your satisfaction, click on "OK"
in the upper-right hand corner. Voilą! Your file is saved.
