I'm the only user, and I've changed the permissions on the desired folders for my user account (not hidden administrator account) to allow *Full control* (including Write). I checked the main folder and all sub-folders where I want to download, and all have the permissions. Yet when I try to D/L an image, I still get the "You don't have permission to save to this folder. Do you want to save to the Pictures folder?" When I choose Yes, I get the even stupider "For security reasons the file was saved to the Temporary Internet folder." :confused: [my recollection of these messages] Now what do I do? I'm using Ancestry.com to D/L census images that I want to look at offline. I only have a month before my paid subscription is up, and I'm wasting time having to try to remember which folder various images go into when I have to move them from the Temporary Internet folder. TIA for any help. Vista Home Premium x64 :p ; 4GB RAM; 2.2 MHz processor -- notageek |

The file was available there but its a pain to get to it. We made Ancestry a trusted site to ease the security restriction and now get a 'save to' dialogue. Actually she works on her own PC but all the genealogical stuff is on mine and it is saved over the network ( it suits our backup routines ). Tom |

Thank you for the suggestions, Peter, but they didn't work either. I took ownership of the main folder I wanted and checked to make sure all the sub-folders also had me as owner. To be doubly sure, I even manually changed the ownership to two of the folders I wanted to paste .JPGs to. Still didn't work. Then I took ownership of C:\ and all sub-folders. Still didn't work. Then I tried again to start a live chat with HP Support. Two tries last night (5 minutes wait each) and one Friday (13 minutes wait each) didn't work. I then emailed HP Support at 6:52PM and got a message that they usually reply in an hour. I know yesterday was probably pretty busy for them but it's now 2:30 PM my time and still no reply. I suspected that was going to happen and I've wasted too many hours in the last week trying to figure this out (3-4 hours yesterday alone). So last night I disabled UAC, and now I can do my research again. Thanks again, Peter. Maybe it will help someone else. -- notageek |
