Can't save images or documents After upgrading to Win& Pro i'm not able to save these files to a location of my choosing.
example:
I attempt to save an image to a folder I get the following Error message Quote: You Don't have permission to save in this location.Contact the administrator to obtain permission. Would you like to save in the My Pictures folder instead? WTH!?! I am the administrator and I'm 99% sure I've got permission to do this already. I've checked the settings for this folder and it shows that i've got all the permissions and "Full Control".
What am I missing? | My System Specs |

What location are you trying to save to? If you try to save to the root of the C: drive or to Program Files, you will see this message. In essence you are being saved from doing something dumb. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should....save somewhere else. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom OS Windows 7 Ultimate RTM (Technet) CPU 3.00 gigahertz Intel Core2 Duo E8400 Motherboard ASUSTeK Computer INC.

The path is as follows:
c:\Website images\mfg name\
Worked just fine and dandy before upgrading from Windows 7 HomePremium to Windows 7 Pro. | My System Specs | | |

Frank,
Save photo as jpeg and try it.
Bitmap photo's did the same to me this morning so I saved it as jpeg.

Move the "Website Images" folder under your Pictures folder. That is the logical place for it anyway. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom OS Windows 7 Ultimate RTM (Technet) CPU 3.00 gigahertz Intel Core2 Duo E8400 Motherboard ASUSTeK Computer INC.

Frank, I suppose you could find a way to force the OS to let you save there, but honestly I'd think about saving things somewhere else. Since the DOS days (which I remember, sadly...) it has always been a bad idea to try to save stuff on the root directory of the C: drive. The fact that previous editions of the OS let you do it just means they were just too dumb to tell you so. You really should either A: save things to the My stuff folders in the libraries or B: (better idea) put a completely different hard drive in your machine and save all your personal items there. If you are using a laptop, save it to an external drive. That way when the C: drive goes bad you won't also lose all your precious stuff. I just had a student the other day lose about $800.00 worth of client photos because she'd saved everything on the C: drive. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom machine OS Windows 7 Professional 64 bit CPU i7 920 Motherboard ASUS P6T Deluxe V2 Memory 6 gigabytes Graphics Card nVidia Quadro FX 1800 Sound Card Creative SB Audigy 2 Monitor(s) Displays IBM 21" CRT Screen Resolution 1600 x 1200 Keyboard Logitec Access 600 Mouse Logitec M100 Hard Drives Hitachi 1 TB Main Drive
