Saving location menu weirdness

[eepyikes]

Hi, I noticed a problem when scanning a file from my Canon scanner. When it asks where to save the file in Windows 7, I am only given the choice of saving it in user space. In other words, only in documents/desktop/downloads/etc. I cannot, for example, save it to my second hard drive or a network drive.

This behavior also happens when I try to create a shortcut on the desktop. When I go to specify where the shortcut should point to, it only allows me to choose destinations within the user's folder.

Is there any way I can get it to show ALL locations on the computer?

Thanks

If You installed a software for the scanner , go to it's settings and see if it gives a choice for a saving destination.

That's the problem. When I go to do that, I'm only given the user folder and subfolders.

A screenshot or snip would help alot to get to the bottom of this. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/9733-screenshots-files-upload-post-seven-forums.html

I thought it was a Canon problem until I tried to create a shortcut on the desktop and got the same deal.

You could try running a sfc/scannow to check for/repair any corrupted system files. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1538-sfc-scannow-command-system-file-checker.html
