Chrome - Ask where to save files

[LinkZ]

Anyone here been able to globally set the setting on chrome for 'Ask where to save each file before downloading'? I've had a look through the ADMX and there aren't any settings for it. I've tried editing the master_preferences file as mentioned - http://www.edugeek.net/forums/windows/112999-google-chrome-vs-ie-looking-open-save-cancel-options.html but that didn't seem to work either.

I've tried editing the master_preferences file but that didn't seem to work either.

The settings in the master_preferences file will only be read the first time a user opens the browser and doesn't already have a Chrome profile i.e. the entire %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome folder doesn't exist.

 

If your users have mandatory profiles, then you could simply edit the Preferences file (in \Google\Chrome\User Data\Default) so that it contains the setting highlighted below.

 

   "download": {
     "directory_upgrade": true,
     "extensions_to_open": ""[color="#FF0000"],[/color]
     [color="#FF0000"]"prompt_for_download": true[/color]
  },

We do use mandatory profiles and the \Google\Chrome\User Data\Default didn't exist (I had deleted the entire google directory before). I remade them and added that Preferences files like you mentioned and it's working. Thanks very much.
