When ever I save a website to my desktop I usually get two icons that show up on my desktop. One of the icons is the link to the website the other is a file folder filled with a bunch of files that I don't recognize. If I delete the file folder icon the website icon deletes as well. I have not had this issue before until recently.

Is there a way to save the website to my desktop without the files icon showing up as well? It really clutters things up.

I am using Windows 7.

Thank you

Hey Brad,

When you click Save Page As... under where you enter the file name, there is a drop down "Save as Type"-- change that to We Page, HTML only

However the "file folder" you mentioned contains all the images and stuff off the web page. If you only save the HTML then images will disappear from the page when it's deleted off the server.

If you want to save everything in one file you could try something like CutePDF

Or possibly this addon https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fire.../save-as-pdf/ (I have never used this myself though.)

Let me know if that answers your question.

Thx, Curtis

Thanks Curtis!

Is there a way to change this permanently? I know I did not have this problem before.

After you have saved one file in HTML Only format, Firefox should remember your choice and HTML only should be selected by default the next time.
