When I've downloaded files from the net, I choose a directory to save the file but then get error message saying that I don't have permission to save files in that location and to ask the Administrator for permission. I am the Administrator and I have no other users. All the files downloaded go to the Local temp file since I don't have permission.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI recently deleted some 2,000+ files from my WindowsTemp folder. I remember - back in my Windows 2000 days - I set up a batch file that executed on boot-up from the Start-up folder that deleted such files. What would the equivalent procedure be for Vista Home Premium (64-bit)? Am I able to duplicate that former procedure? Are there other temp files that are created that I should be aware of for deleting purposes?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI scanned my C:/ drive with ZSoft for temp files. It came up with a list in the hundreds with these extensions:
..bak .GID .tmp .chk .htm .js .syd .ico
and two desktop.ini files.
I have everything configured to dump browser temp files upon closing but it looks like there are files for periods of consecutive dates, possibly when those configurations were not yet set for some reason. It amounts to many MBs, so if they are junk I would like to get rid of them all. What policy should I adhere to regarding temp files with these extensions.
I have Vista Ultimate, when I run disk cleanup, either through cleanmgr or drive properties it gets to temporary files then goes nowhere, after 30 minutes the progress meter has not moved (it is at about 50%) and if I leave it running it just disappears after a while (I have not timed this but it is longer than 30 minutes). I have run a check on my hard drive and it is okay. Is there a fix for this or if not how do I clean up "temp" files.

How can I put my picture back?, also the whole temp folder is deleted as well. I cannot do a system restore, as it is disabled.

View 6 Replies View RelatedMy laptop suddenly shut itself down for no reason. When I restarted it, I was given a fresh new desktop with new music folders, documents folder etc.etc. I have since found out I was given a TEMP account - which is weird because I still logged into MY personal profile with no problems (and no warning messages about files being lost when I shut the computer down). Anyway, since I didn't get any message, I worked on my website pages all day and saved the work into a folder on the "new" desktop.
HOWEVER... after restarting the computer the next day and logging into my profile, I was presented with my original desktop - - - BUT NO FOLDER WITH ALL MY WORK! When I searched for the specific files and folder on my computer - I found the files, but I could not open them because "C:UsersTEMP(folder name)" did not exist! Is there a way.. ANY WAY of getting those files back?
Vista Home Premium upgraded to SP2 Danish. When I do a Disk Cleanup then it should empty all temp files on the hdd, but I found out that its not emptying the following, why is that? c:BrugereThunderAppDataLocalTemp c:windowsTemp Eventhough you are logged in as administrator c:BrugereAdministratorAppDataLocalTemp Now the question is if I can delete these files without trouble? Or is there a reason why these files are not deleted and should not be deleted? As the subjet line says, I'm wondering why my windows folder takes up 16.3GB? I'm thinking that its all the old updates that takes up all this space since it seems to be mostly located in these 2 folders :windowswinsxs - 10.8GB c:windowssystem32 - 3.82GB What can be done about this?

This recently started happening on my Home Premium 64-bit Vista installation, and the problem remains after reinstalling Vista two times from scratch. If the file was downloaded on another PC and saved to a flash drive, it runs fine on Vista. I have tried the sfc /scannow command, as well as disabling any firewall, antivirus, etc. and changing the IE settings. This occurs on a clean installation of Windows Vista also.

View 9 Replies View RelatedA friend of mine has Vista on his 2 home computers. His and his Wife's. They recently rearranged furniture, including the computers. When they plugged them all back in to their router, neither their computers, nor their xbox, could connect to the internet anymore. They called their ISP(Charter Communication) and Charter told them nothing was wrong that their cable modem was showing up fine and seemed to be working just fine. So they had a tech come out to their place and the guy was baffled. He swapped out their cable modem but said nothing was wrong with the old one, he just swapped them to make them feel better I guess. But even the tech guy couldn't understand why they suddendly cannot access the net. Even removing the router from the equation did not help one little bit. A buddy of theirs brought his laptop over to their house and was able to connect to the net through their cable modem so we know the modem is working just fine.
Well, thats when my Brother told them to call me. I did all the basic things you'd expect, starting from scratch. We started with connecting directly to the cable modem and got what I expected, zilch. I checked ipconfig and noticed they had a 169.*.*.* IP on both computers. by the way I'm doing all this long distance since they live several hours away from me. That 169 is wrong, or at least it seems like it to me so I banged away trying to change that with no results. Every change I made
reset to 169 instantly. Even a restart didn't help. So I had them plug it into the router and got a normal 192.*.*.* IP. At this point, several hours after we began, I gave up for the time being on that particular problem............
When i try to download files from, for example my hotmail, i always target it for my desktop, to be sure that i can find it again.That just dont work anymore. The files disapears.

A boks is popping up, saying that the shortcut dosent work anymore and that the files they are refering to, are changed ore moved.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI downloaded Mozilla Firefox Internet Browser a short while ago and it was working fine. But then my Vista automatically updated and I think that was where the problem started. I think in the update it heightened the security on my computer, not necessarily a bad thing but annoying because every time I launch Firefox it has to ask my permission to continue.
I think this is because it is trying to access the internet and is not microsoft software. I have looked it up in windows help and have a slight suspicion that it might be to do with something called "user account control". It helps stop unauthorized changes to your computer. Is there any way to convince it that Firefox isn't harmful and make an exception for it?
I've seen this problem posted a number of times, and either there's no fix for it or it was attributed to something that doesn't apply to my situation. Here's the description:
- With Firefox and Google Talk, any downloaded file cannot be opened by the program.
- IE8 and Chrome both work, and since I use Chrome for everything, I never noticed the issue in Firefox. File transfer in Google Talk has been screwed since I installed Vista.
- It happens when they're run in Administrator Mode as well
- The files do not appear in the specified Download directory (my UserDownload folder)
- A search shows that the files do not exist -anywhere- on any of my HDs
- The files aren't in AppDataTemp either
- I do NOT have AVG, nor have I ever had it installed on any of my HDs, ever
- The account I use is the original account I created on install, and has Administrator privileges
- I have already granted special permissions for all Users to Create/Modify files within the folder
- The User folders are not in their original location. They've been moved to a separate HD specifically for Docs/Downloads.
The most common answer I see is "Turn off UAC," but I see that as a last resort and would prefer a different solution. I'm tempted to just switch to 7 today and deal with the RC but I'm wary of the problem not being fixed there either.
I just downloaded some songs and I hit "open" instead of save each time. Now they are all in my temp Internet files. How do I get them to my music files?

The desktop and two notebooks use XP Home Service Pack 3, the other notebook is two weeks old and has Vista Home Basic installed SP1. The desktop has a NIC and is connected to a Linksys WRT54GS wireless router connected to a Speed Stream 4100 DSL modem.
All three XP machines have no networking problems - only the Acer Aspire 5515 with Vista Home basic which has an Atheros AR5007EG wireless network adapter. The problems are 1)does not connect to the internet [local only], on powering up and 2)coming out of sleep mode or 3)drops the internet connection randomly.
I tried unchecking the QoS Packet Scheduler, the Internet Protocol Version 6, and both Link Layer Topology choices. OK, restart. Also tried CMD prompt: netsh Winsock reset. Neither of those seemed to solve the problem and the QoS Packet Scheduler, the Internet Protocol Version 6, and both Link Layer Topology check boxes are checked and back as they were.
I installed Vista Business on a new computer (Asus P2) and it keeps loosing the internet connection intermittently. Local access always works. In the network are 3 computers, 2 Vista desktops, 1 XP Home which acts as a file and printer server and a Draytek router behind a cable modem. The 2 Vista PC's are new and both have the same problem. When the XP machine was the desktop PC this problem never occurred, and it still doesn't as the XP machine always has a live internet connection (the cable provider is wonderfully reliable). The machines are connected via a wired 100Mbps network...............
