    "You cannot save to this location..."


    Recently, Windows will not allow me to save files (from applications or from internet download) to the location of my choice. It insists that I save to the root of my fovorites folder.
    I did have to do a re-install of windows a while back.. might that be the source of my problems (ie., old permissions - share settings? )
    any assistance would be greatly appreciated...

This isn't a bug but to document current IE/Chrome/FF behavior when saving an image. When viewing a jpg image in IE 8.0.7600.16385, if you do right-click | Save Picture As, the default save location is Libraries\Pictures. With FireFox 3.5.7, right-click | Save Image As, the save location is...
