| | Read only files i have just recently become unable to download anything to any folder. all of my folders are set to read only and every time i try to change that setting, it switches back. i have set my permissions to full control on all files and folders, except some that come back with access denied. i have tried disabling the uac to no avail. any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

You need to be far more specific as to what happens when you try. And please note - WinVistaclub forum leaches off the Microsoft Newsgroups, so please follow Usenet custom in your reply by quoting the relevant parts of the post you are replying to, and replying to the thread. Thank you. |

| | Re: Read only files Ok, i am trying to download a file for a class. an hour prior to attempting this download, i was able to download a different file. now every time i try to download something, the download does not show up anywhere on my computer, regardless of where i try to save it to, even an external hard drive and a flash drive. i use firefox, and in the download window, the "open", "open containing folder" and "go to download page" options are unavailable for all downloads.
