Cannot download applications - error message cites "folder ownership"
O.S. = Windows 7, 64-bit. Browser = Firefox 3.6.28
PROBLEM: I cannot download any applications from any website.
When I click on a website's "download" button, I immediately get a message box which says
" "C:\Users\[my name]\AppData\Local\Temp\[for example]wfxiIAci.exe.part" could not be saved, because you cannot change the contents of that folder. Change the folder properties and try again, or try saving in a different location".
When I checked ownership, "Users" was "Administrators"; "my name" was either "System" or "my name"; "AppData" was "System"; "Temp" was probably "System".
I followed the instructions on a Microsoft "technet" webpage to change the ownership of the tree "C:\Users\[my name]\AppData\Local\Temp" to "Administrators". This did not allow the downloads
or change the message.
Also, the Properties/Security box of my "C:\Users\[my name]" folder includes the Users "Unknown Acct = S-1-5-21-879640176-2077098734-2292519611-1001"
and, "Home Users".
After deleting the computer's Limited Acct, the 2 Users are still listed.
"S-1-5-21-879640176-2077098734-2292519611-1001" is not found by the Yahoo Search Engine. The Windows folder-specific search engine for "C:" and for "Users" searches essentially indefinitely. That for the folder named after myself finds nothing.
