"permission to modify files in this network location"

when trying to save files, any files from firefox or any internet application to my desktop i receive the error:

"You don't have permission to modify files in this network location

please contact your system administrator"

The first time it downloads a Zero size file, but the second time it will correctly download

this is my computer, so i have access to all setting, but i cannot figure out how to remove this warning.

please help, thank you

Hi, i have the same problem. ive been looking around but i cant seem to find a solution to it.

That's strange,

Double-click on Your users file on the desktop, right-click on Desktop, choose properties and make sure your user name has Full Control checked.

What type of network are you running?

I have the exact same problem, and boy is it annoying.
Is there a known fix for this yet? I tried the "take ownership" things but they aren't consistently working. The error just comes back after a while....

Not using beta or RC or anything, 7600.

Any luck with this??? I have the exact same problem.. Although not only with internet apps; anything that requires saving files.

Does anyone have acronis true image installed by any chance?? I think it started after i installed it

For anyone that is interested.. A new version of nod32 was my problem

Nod32 v4.0.467 and Windows 7 error when saving pictures from IE8... - Wilders Security Forums

Hello everybody,
I discovered how to fix this problem,
First you must go to C:\Users\ and then click right click on folder "Your user name" and choose propreties



and go to security tab and click Edit then click Add => Advanced...



If you click on advanced now click on Find Now and choose Everyone and click Ok



Then again click Ok
And now click on Full control => Ok



That's all

Enjoy...

That error occurs because of Eset. If you upgrade your Eset to last version, annoying security error will not annoy anymore..

I've been downloading pictures to use as desktop backgrounds for years using XP, Vista and now Win7. I've never seen anything like that before. So I tried to get mine to come up with that error message.

First I saved 10 pictures to a special test file I set up for this purpose. Then I saved 8 more pictures to my desktop.

They came from Caedes Desktop Backgrounds and I used Firefox 3.6.3. I'm using Win7 v 7100.

Then I tried saving another 10 pictures to my desktop using IE8.

I've been using Eset products for over 4 years now. I am currently using Eset Smart Security v4.0.467.0.

I never got that error message.
