Problem downloading MP3 to H:\ drive

[googlemad]

This is a weird one!

 

A user is trying to download an MP3 from the following site using Internet Explorer 9 :

 

Bird Sound Effects

 

When they right click the MP3 link (Feeding Ducks for example) and select 'Save Target As', they then click their network drive (H:\) which is mapped to \\fileserver\areas$\username

 

After clicking 'Save', the file doesn't save but the Save As dialog box comes back up again, click 'Save' again and the box goes away and doesn't come back but the file still hasn't saved.

 

However, save to C:\ drive or USB drive and the file saves fine!

 

Also tried saving in 'My Documents' which is redirected to the same user area path with no joy.

 

Any ideas as I have no idea what is causing it!

The Save As dialog box disappears and the file is not saved when you try to download a file in Internet Explorer 9 to a network share on which you have Change permissions

 

Gotta love Microsoft!

There's your answer - permissions. You should always allocate users Full Control to their home areas.
