It seems at least with the links on this page the option is there, 3rd from the top under "Open in New Window."

Oh well...
 
I am still unable to "Save Target As.." in IE6, the option has never been active in the last two weeks or so, I was a real fan of saving files corresponding with hyperlinks without First have to sit and whatch the thing load, the Save from 'File Menu' ;(
 
However i have managed to find an allternative, Download Accelerator has right click function for links, "Download with DAP"
 
But i prefer 'save target as', it's quicker and you easily select where you want to save the file. So if it is just some lousy option in IE that needs changing i would really appreciate knowing that.
 
Cheers,
