| | RE: installing with winzip and into chosen folders... Some Vista folder aren't writeable even for Administrators group. Those folders are mostly system folders. For example, you don't have write permission for the Windows Sidebar folder. I don't know where are you trying to extract those .zip files, but you could write here so I can check where's the problem. -- MCSA, MCDST, MCP Systems Specialist http://www.wincert.net "irish14500" wrote: Quote: > I am running into permission problems when trying to install a zip file > running winzip into a chosen folder.

| | RE: installing with winzip and into chosen folders... I am downloading Photoshop brushes in .zip format and attempting to install into C:\Program files\Adobe\Photoshop CS3\Presets\brushes folder. I have specified this folder in Winzip and the application displays Access denied when attempting to extract the files into this folder. A workaround I have been using is to extract all of the files in the zip onto the desktop and then copying and pasting all of the .abr files into the previous listed folder. Since most Photoshop brush creators zip many files into one zip it is becoming a pain to do this procedure over and over.-irish -- "...I Can Neither Confirm Nor Deny..."
