Vista Tutorial - Huh? How do I fix this?

02-19-2009

All of a sudden I'm getting an error message saying I don't have permission
to save files in the Download folder in Vista Ultimate SP1, using IE 7, and
to contact the administrator for permission.

I'm the only one using the puter and it's never done this before today. What
went wrong and how do I fix it?

Thanks,
John

Hi,
Are you referring to the folder at C:\Users\account name\Downloads ?

Right-click the Downloads folder> Properties> Security. Do system and the
user (account name) have full control?
