Thank you for your quick reply, bu sorry, it is not as 'easy' as that.

I want to download a captcha from google and present it in a vfp-form, but the captcha is not so easily isolated by automation. Interactively I can just right-click and can save the image, but I don't know how to do that automatically.
Google-captcha's do not have normal URLs.
