How to download a file on the desktop

How can I upload a file to thedesktop

Hi Starmann,

1 / click on the file/application you want to download the download option

2 / a yellow security warning appears at the top of Internet explorer, telling you that the download is blocked and click on the link for more options.

3 / click on the yellow security link and select 'download file '.

4 / opens a file download security warning window.

5 / click on the "Save" button

6 / has "save in" window opens now.

7 / in the window "Save as", click the "desktop" on the left icon to save your file/application on your desktop. Otherwise, click on the arrow ' to the ' right of the dialog box "save under" at the top of the window and select "desktop".

Unless you change the next time you download a file/application you will find that "all" downloads are downloaded on your desktop, now, instead of the default My Documents or downloads folder.

    How to download MicrosoftFixit50202.msi of the flash player for my not more long computer work - error 0 x 80070002.   I found the site for download fixit, but I have no desktop feature other than the startup repair options.  I thot I could download fixit from my flash drive solution, but I can't find a command prompt to access.  It is the only page from command prompt I can find... I'm in x:\windows\system32\cmd.exe trying to find the good order for my location flashdrive G:

    I used to go G and get G but it says only that go and get are not internal or external commands and not an executable program or batch file

    HELLLLLLLPPPPPPP!   Thank you!

    x:\ I do not think it is a 'valid' for what you intend. I used a 2nd computer and the original disk, I don't remember tho if I used windows file transfer or just copy, but I had the disc copied to the flash drive and reinstalled windows 7. I have still no working dvd rom (x 2) they open and close (sometimes), but the drivers need to be mounted to something incomplete. repair is absent as well. some other problems too but its been executed in this way for months (apx5). here and there, I get an email from answers, that's how I arived here really (enroute) hope this helps (a bit)

  • Why a file on the desktop suddenly would disappear; had over 30gigs of photos and information?

    I wanted to come to a site to upload photos for printing. When I opened the link to download, could not find my file.

How a file on the desktop that I used just completely disappear from the computer?

    Any help? I can't lose more than 8 GB of photos of my wife and my grandchildren.

    Hello RICKSHAFER,

    Have you confirmed that there is no one of these files in the Recycle Bin?  Another option is to perform an Internet search for third party products see if he can recover files.  I do not show a lot of sites out there that offer file recovery.

    Do you by chance you files saved on a disk or external hard drive?

    Please let us know status.

  • Windows SteadyState and MSE for locked user? Locked user _save files on the desktop? Add the locked user language

    I use Microsoft Windows XP SP3 and Microsoft Security Essentials.

    I did 2 locked users:

    1 locked with custom Restrictions user running Internet Explorer and other Internet browsers, write and draw and nothing much and is welcomed by right clicking on the program icon only run under other Creditentials.

    2 power User, made from MMC with Chater way to have more power that any user who can not only surf the Internet, but also play games online, and this user is also locked.

    My question is: how to make 1. User has locked protected with Microsoft Security Essentials, cause seems MSE is not protect this account, and I can't be sure because of the locked account cannot see even if it is protected, I put MSE on startup but that does not put MSE icon on the taskbar. If it is not protected is not a good cause for the idea that the user navigates Net.

    Another thing I want to do:

    For both locked users able to save files to the desktop and I have it unchecked in Windows SteadyState, but when I connect them and when I log into files are not saved on their desktop computers. So what is the point of selection/deslecting in sign of Restriction if the files went once they logout?

    I wanted to do administrator can retrieve files from their office soon logs in.

    Is - it possible and keep them locked?

    One last thing - since English isn't the only language to be used on 1 locked user account

    How can I put language so that the user can switch between EN and another language

    Thank you for your replies,

    Hi Jade000,

    I recommend you ask your question in the forums of SteadyState for assistance.

    Hope the helps of information.

  • I can't open some of the files on the desktop!

    Hello!

    I can't open some files on my desktop computer. I can open the trash, I can open shortcuts, I can open the desktop.ini files, I can open DOCX files, I can open EXE files and I can open the VBS files. By opening the files, I mean a double click on the file icons. But I can't open the image (JPG or PNG) files.
    If I try a double click on any image file on my desktop nothing happens! If I click with the right button on the file icon and choose Preview is the same, nothing happens! But I can open files stored in the folder my pictures in C:\Users\User, either by double-clicking on file icons or by right-clicking them and choosing an excerptof images. Also, if I copy or move files that I have on the desktop to the images folder and then all of a sudden I can open them! I can double-click on the file icon or right-click and choose Preview. But if I return these files on the desktopand then I can't open them! What gives?
    I guess it has something to do with the security of files and folders settings. But I don't know what is wrong or what to do. Note that all these files, essentially all of the files stored in C:\Users have been restored from a backup file Acronis disk full (Full_backup_of_Vista_ (ST1PT1) .tib). I know that during the process of recovery of backup in Acronis True Image Home 2011 I left the default setting for the option 'recover files with their original security settings'.
    Leaving the possibility to 'recover files with their original security settings' on a led the old user account SID are listed in the list of security of files and/or folders (that is, S-1-5-21-3623811015-3361044348-30300820-1013). That is why, I decided to remove all of the restored files and bring them back again, but this time I unchecked the option 'recover files with their original security settings'. In this way, the files inherit security settings of the they are stored in folders.
    So I'm now always having problems with file security, even after the removal of the above option and restore files once more.
    There is no number unknown SID listed for these files now. All I see is the group Administrators , the SYSTEM group and Samir who is my user account. The same thing is shown for the Desktop folder. So why this would be a problem now? At the same time, the images folder has the account number S-1-5-21-2544407746-3790578479-2786702567-1000 unknown and yet I have no problem opening the files in this folder? So what's happening? What should I do?

    Problem solved!

    I used a software called ReProfiler that allows the user to manipulate user profiles in Winwows directly, without having to create a new user account. Because let's face it: having to create a new user account for the sole purpose of getting a new user profile belongs at the time of Windows 98! This procedure of old school does not belong to a Mac modern as Vista or 7!
    There is actually a way to delete a user profile in Windows Vista, without deleting a user account. It can be found by going to...
    1. start
    2 Control Panel
    3. system and Maintenance
    4 system
    5 Advanced System. This will display the system properties.
    6. in this dialog box, you click on settings, where it says "profiles". A new dialog box appears and allows you to delete selected users profiles. But there is no option to create a new. Why not Microsoft?...
    It's frustrating to not be able to continue to do things in the system and have to rely on third-party applications like ReProfiler.
    So I used ReProfiler reassign my user account on my user profile. I have done that and restarted the computer. But he seems to have no effect on the issue I had with the files on the desktop. But after deleting some files from the office, it started to work normally. I remember deleting a particular program shortcut that gave me the error message if I went to properties, Security tab. This shortcut was left over after you uninstall the program itself. After the removal of that thing, I was able to open any file on the desktop, even the photo files. So, I'm not sure if it was turned or a combination of things that this point sort, but I'm glad it still works.
    Lessons: Never restore ntuser.dat, ntuser.dat.log, ntuser.ini files when you restore files to a folder from a backup file users. This will probably mess things up. In addition, does not restore the security settings for the files and records of these files and folders to restore. Instead, they inherit the security settings appropriate to their parents. I think it's how I presented this problem in the first place.
  • I can't open the .jpg files from the desktop using "Windows Photo Gallery" as the default program. They open normally from nowhere elsewhere, but not directly from the desktop. No error, nothing happens.

    If I right click 'open with' open with other programs like IE but not "Windows Photo Gallery". It is not a specific .jpg file, this is all .jpg files. For example... I have a .jpg file in a folder on my desktop, open folder double click, it will open in the "Windows Photo Gallery". Copy and paste the SAME file on the desktop, double-click on, nothing happens. I tried to restart, change the default value of IE, open the file, it opens, by default change to "Windows Photo Gallery" doesn't work... I am confused?
