You don't have permission to save in this location ....(Windows/Media)

Good morning,

I finally figured how to record with the Sound Recorder that was installed on my Win7 computer and then I tried saving about 15 seconds worth of music to Windows>Media to hopefully use as 'start-up music' like I had previously on my old computer running WinXP3.

But when I tried I received this message: You don't have permission to save in this location. Contact the Administrator to obtain permission. Would you like to save in the My Music folder instead.

Is there a safe way to save it or is it a no-no?

Thanks and regards,

Corazon,

I would be interested in finding out how I could do this (it doesn't matter where you save your sound recording, you can use it as a Windows startup sound from any location you wish.)

I have been searching and searching and I haven't found a way to do it. Just to make myself clear I like to make about a 10-15 second clip from different songs to use as my start-up music.

If you know of a way to do this with Win7 I would really like to know it?

Thanks and regards,

mgp1964,

I was trying to save it to Windows/Media and yes I was able to save it to My Music as it suggested.

Please see Corazon's response (#3) to me.

Thanks and regards,

boohbah,

I really appreciate the link you supplied. I was hoping it wouldn't be quite that complicated (for me ... not for you ...lol)

However, I will check it out in earnest once I get more familiar with Win7.

Thanks and regards,
