why is it that this downmanager cannot save files outside the user's
profile folder?
I do cheer the security features of vista but this is a bit too much

when I decided to download vista_rc2 I couldn't save anywhere but on
the system partition and inside the user folder which had just nearly
enough free space left to hold the image
and even then it was recreating the path under the temp folder

so not even selecting another folder in the user's profile was possible
I mention this because it is common to redirect a user's environment
and thus would have circumvented this issue

I could select a folder anywhere else but vista kept coming back that
it was not allowed to save there
I was using a normal user account and not an administrator account at
the time, don't know if that would have chaged anything

thnx

Chris,
Do yourself a favor;if MSFT gives another dload; skip akami;and use your
own download manager.
I use free download manager. No setting up virtual temp files etc.
It's free too!
