| Guest | Security permissions I am trying to download AOL Instant Messanger and save the installation wizard in C drive > Program Files > AIM (folder). When i try to save this wizard it gives me an error saying: "You don't have permission to save in this location. Contact the administrator to abtain permission. Would you like to save it in the __(insert name)__ folder instead? |

| Guest | Re: Security permissions Save the installation file to your Desktop or some other folder under C:\Users\(Your Name), like C:\Users\(Your Name)\Downloads. When you double-click on the installer, it will put the files it needs in the correct C:\Program Files subfolder. You can then delete the installation file once the installation is complete.

A good place to save downloads is in your Downloads folder. -- Kerry Brown Microsoft MVP - Shell/User http://www.vistahelp.ca |

You get denied access error because you're an idiot: you have disabled the UAC! With UAC ON you get a prompt in order to grant the permission. Click on "Continue" and the file will be written. With UAC ON it's so easy, so simple. |
