Hotmail Altered

Hotmail have altered their settings (again) today. When my brother sends me photos, what i used to do was right click them and then select "save picture as" , then when I'd got to my pictures, send them one at a time to there (they were always about 4 inches square, and copied really clearly that way) . Today, I thoght I'd check the copy photo option out. What you now get, is small thumbnails that you can view in hotmail with a viewer (requires silverlight to be installed). You can still copy them to your pictures, by clicking on the little bar near the arrow in black at the bottom of each pic and to get the next pics, look for the arrow in the grey area to the right of pictures, that when clicked, brings up next batch, ready to copy.

If you "left click" on the arrow below the thumbnail then click save,select where you want to save to ie:My Pictures" then click save. You will have saved the picture and it can be viewed as normal.
