Saving Information Cards

Downloading an Information Card (.crd) file from a link on a card-issuing website adds an Information Card to your card collection and installs that card on your computer for later use. To save an Information Card in CardSpace 2.0, you must have access to a website that issues Information Cards.

To save an Information Card, complete the following procedure.

To save an Information Card when you are prompted by a website

  1. Browse to a website that issues Information Cards.

  2. On the page on the website that issues Information Cards, click the link to download the card that you want to install on your computer.

    When you click the link, CardSpace 2.0 opens and prompts you to save the card.

    Note

    If the Information Card that you are trying to install is newer than a previously installed card from the same issuer, the newer card overwrites the older card.
