I keep getting this message when I try to save C:\Documents and Settings\jay & sandy\My Documents\Downloads:
\SpywareTerminatorSetup(2).exe could not be saved, because you cannot change the contents of that folder.
How do I fix this?

No, they don't make any difference.

I found something that worked for me. If you are using Firefox, change the download folder to another folder, and then change it back to the folder you want. I saw another fix on another site that worked for someone else. Make sure the Application Experience service is set to automatic. Mine was disabled, and that may have contributed to the problem.

No, don't change the properties. The folder is protected for security purposes. Instead, save it to C:Usersjay & sandyDownloadsThe browser won't let you write a file into a read-only directory.
