Recent places link missing on our other PC when wanting to save a file. "RECENT PLACES" option not there. (see pic)
Same goes for "DESKTOP". It also is not appearing as a save-to link.
I am a one person shop in a home office. I am the sole administrator and sole user. There is no higher authority in my company than me. Suddenly just today, I do not have permission to save any kind of file from the web to my desktop. I cannot save them to the desktop, download them to the desktop,...
I'm trying to download Maxtor backup software and it refuses to let me install in Program Files folder. It says I need permission from the Administrator...that's me (this is a single computer at home), but I don't know how to give/get that permission. Can anyone give me the steps to get there? ...
Trying to download a program and I receive a message that I do not have adminisrator permission. I am logged on as administrator. Right clicking does not give option to run as administrator. How do I get "permission"?
Where do you go to change the common places?
(common places being the five shortcuts that show up on most open/save/save as dialogs)
I looked for them where the XP ones are supposed to be. No go.
Did a quick search for Vista, said it should be under User/Favorites. Went there added one. No...
OMG that worked! Thank you so much for posting that link, and to Mark for writing registry shortcut.
