Failed Screenshots

Given my irritation of all things Microsoft, I have habitually surfed the Internet using Netscape. For my work, I have to take screenshots of Internet newspaper articles, which I then access later offline. Previously, by selecting "save as", these would be saved in My Documents as a combination of HTML page and yellow folder. If there is no accompanying yellow folder, then it is virtually impossible to open the HTML document. Recently, my computer started NOT saving the yellow folder accompanying each HTML document; as a result, all the articles I thought I had saved can no longer be accessed. What has happened? I did recently download some updates from Microsoft. I have no idea what these were; my computer does it automatically. However, I desperately need to be able to revert to the old system of saving and accessing documents. Can anybody help?

Try upgrading to Firefox
Try using IE
Try using SnagIt (fanatastic capture software).Hug provider for depression thread :grouphug:

Yes Firefox saves them with folders.
I had that irritation when I changed from IE to Opera and was so pleased to see Firefox saved them the old trusty way!0 -
Rather than waste time downloading another browser instead of the one you're happy with, save it as a 'web archive, single file (mht)'. This doesn't download the yellow folder but puts everything onto the one page for you.
Been a while since i used Netscape though so not sure if that's an option there, but it is on IE.0
