Yet, there is an even quicker way, and it works in Internet Explorer, Firefox and Google Chrome!
We’ll use Firefox for this demonstration. Browse over to your favorite image search (I’m using Google Images) and type in something to look for. Once your results pop up, click on an image that strikes your fancy.
Now, make sure that your browser window is small enough so that you can still see your desktop, then click and drag the image to your desktop.
That’s all there is to it! No right-clicking or “saving-as” – just drag and drop to your desktop and you’re done!
How neat!

Didn’t work for me. It puts a shortcut on my desktop. Not an image.
There is an even easier way. Get the image on screen, clk copy and paste wherever you want.
Oh great! clutter your desktop with images.
Neat trick…just because you can!
This works with Firefox and Google Chrome but when I try it with my Internet Explorer all I get is a short cut to the picture. Can you tell me why?
I recall reading that many viruses are now attached to pictures. If you click on an image to download you also can download a virus…true?
You know what ? I feel that one can learn more from you and your news letter than a 500 dollar seminar. Thanks and looking forward to the next time ! Bob
This does not work with Internet Explorer Version 8.
