Hi all.
Got a problem with Internet Explorer when logged under User (Restricted Users Group).
When I want do download a file, the "save" option is appearing and when
I press Save, the window where I have to show where (to what Drive in what Folder) to save it's not appearing, it's trying to download but after a few seconds I receive the error: Internet Explorer cannot download...
Why that window is not appearing ?

(IMPORTANT) I must say that the user has only Read & Execute Permission on Disk C: and in regedit (HKCU, HKLM...).
And i think so...the User doesn't have write acc on Disk C: so that's why
it can't download it tries to save but can't...so if the window that has to appear will finally appear I can show the way to Disk D: where user has write priviliges and can save needed file.

P.S.: Under Administrator that window appears.

Waiting for reply, 10x in advance.

It can be useful to manually force the default download directory to save having to locate it each and every time.

To set the default download directory for Internet Explorer:

* Use a registry editing tool to navigate to the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer

* Insert a value with the following details:
Data Type: REG_SZ
Value Name: Download Directory
Value: Full path of directory you wish to use. For instance, D:\Install\test_download

Cf. next .reg file:
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer]
@=""
;"SmartDithering"=dword:00000001
;"Show_FullURL"=dword:00000000
"Download Directory"="D:\\Install\\test_download"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
"NotifyDownloadComplete"="yes"

* Restart Internet Explorer for the changes to take effect.
