How To Bypass Flickr Spaceball (IE)

Do you use Flickr?
Do you often want to save pictures but they come out as Spaceballs.gif?
Well then this video is for you.
It shows you how to save the pictures in Internet Explorer.

1) Find a Flickr photo which has saving disabled (it will save as Spaceball.gif if you try)
2) Go to the menu (if it's hidden, press ALT once)
3) Click FILE
4) Click EDIT WITH NOTEPAD
5) Click EDIT (in Notepad menu)
6) Click FIND...
7) Type in ALT="TITLE OF PICTURE
8) Click FIND NEXT
9) Highlight the picture link right in front of the ALT="
10) Copy the link (URL)
11) Paste into address bar.
12) Enter.... voila!

Easier FireFox version coming soon.

Mine says, "Edit with Microsoft Word" How do I change that to edit with Notepad??

@AviaSettler You don't really need to. Just CTRL+F in Microsoft Word and find the same phrase.

YOU ARE THE BEST!

Haha, thankyou so much.

I do have one question tho, what if it doesnt have a title? :/

Thanks!

Then use FireFox (which everyone should be using in the first place). There are two waaaaay simpler ways to getting the link in FireFox.

NetScape 4.7 lets you bypass spaceball in two keypresses

Firefox, Chrome and later Netscapes make it harder but still easier than this IE method. Don't know about Opera.
