Cannot SAVE TO "desktop" or "recent places" for browser downloads OR even local docs e.g. save notepad to desktop.

There's no need to bump posts - that's a sure way to make sure you get ignored. You don't pay for the advice you get here, so show a little gratitude and be a bit patient.

To your issue : what error message do you get when you try to save to desktop?

Hey Golden. Thanks for responding. No error messages involved. When u click 'save to' those 2 locations (Desktop & recent places) are no longer destination options. They just don't appear in the 'right click & save to a location' list.

That sounds to me like a context menu issue. I'll ask Brink to have a look at it since he understands it better.
