Hi, I am so lossst. I miss my xp. I now have Vista and when I download a
picture from the internet it sends it (not by my choice) to Temporary
Internet Files Folder. When I look for this I can't find it. Is there a
setting I can turn off so it won't do this. I don't want to go thru 20
thousand steps to get my file. When I tell it to save it to my picture file
that is exactly what I want it to do. This new Vista stinks!!!!!!!

What format are the pictures?
If .jpg , then you may have to associate that filename with Windows Photo
Gallery, then the default save would be Pictures folder.

Control Panel_ Internet Option_Programs Tab_Set programs button...Associate
a file type...select the file type,then the program

What's the problem here? When I download a file from the Internet, I can
point to any folder I want the file save to. It doesn't make any difference
what O/S I am using when doing the download.

If you want to find the file because you're mis-placing the file, then use
the Windows Key and *F*-key, use Advanced Search, check-on Include
non-indexed files and go find the file.

When you save a photo in IE7, you get to tell it where to save it. If you
don't want it in the Temp Int files folder, change it.
When you get the Save Picture window, Click on the Browse Folders button and
select which folder you want, like C:\Users\youraccount\Pictures
 
It is in jpeg format. When I save it to my pictures folder it pops up a
window and says for security reasons it is saving it to Temporary Internet
Files Folder. It asks if I want to open this if I say yes there is nothing
there.
 
I do tell it to save it to my pictures folder. When I hit save it then saves
it to the Temporary Internet Files Folder. It does not give me a choice at
that point on wether I want to save it there or not. It does ask if I want
to open the folder and when I do there is nothing there.

Using Vista? If so, that's your problem!

I am pretty sure you can do a SaveAs and save to any directory you want to
save it to. There is also the other security issue with Vista saving the
file that was downloaded or came from a foreign computer. A file of that
type that came for another computer will have the Unblock button, when you
right-click the file saved to the HDD and go to Properties. You may have to
unblock the file.

You can always go to Linux, since that's where NoStop wants you to go. There
is nothing stopping you from doing that. You can also go back to XP too and
nothing is stopping you from doing that either. But be a man. You got on the
horse so learn how to ride it. :)
 
well i can think on 2 cases where windows will give you that access denied
error:

1.- if you have several users created in your computer, maybe you are trying
to save the pictures NOT in your pictures folder (but saving them in other
user pictures folder)

2.- you are trying to save the pictures in the "my pictures" junction
instead of the "pictures" folder, that junction is there so programs using a
hard-coded path to that folder can be redirected transparently to the
"pictures" folder, in this case just be sure to save to "pictures" and not
"my pictures"

either way, until the problem root can be found, you can always try to save
the pictures in the desktop, and move them to pictures afterwards...
 
This may be an Ownership/Permissions issue or an install/uninstall issue.

Install/Uninstall Problems
Until you clean your system of any broken install or incomplete uninstall
debris, you won't be able to install a new program. Vista uninstaller does a
very poor job of removing all parts of a program. Sometimes a proprietary
removal tool can help, but even these will leave blocking files and registry
entries on your system.

You can do a manual uninstall with the help of Windows Installer CleanUp
Utility, but the best way to get rid of all remnants of a program, failed
download and install, or failed uninstall is using Smarty Uninstaller. You
can access Smarty Uninstaller, a number of proprietary removal tools and
instructions for doing a manual uninstall at the tutorial link below.

Take Ownership/Permissions
Even running as Administrator may leave you without permissions to modify
some files or folders, even ones that you have downloaded and installed. To
access or modify (copy, delete, rename) files or folders you can take
Ownership of (in your Username) and grant yourself Full Control permissions
of the files or folders in question described in the following tutorial.

To avoid having to do this individually for hundreds of files, Take
Ownership of large branches like Program Files folder, Users folder, or
Windows folder, and grant yourself Full Control of the folder, all subfolders
and files contained in the folder. In the case of Program Files, you would
have full access to all your programs. In the case of Users folder, you
would have full access to your Music, Pictures, Videos, Documents, etc. In
the case of Windows folder you would have full access to your OS, including
Windows Installer.

Windows Explorer Run As Administrator
Another way to gain access to modify files and folders includes going to the
Start button, typing in Windows Explorer, right-clicking on this and
selecting Run As Administrator. You should then have "elevated privileges"
to do whatever you wish to files in Windows Explorer.

Unlocker Program
There is also a program called Unlocker that you can use to gain access to
modify files and folders.
