Could you take a screenshot of something you are trying to download to the Desktop so we can view what you are seeing? Are you speaking of photos, videos, music, etc. Do you right-click on the item and select Save As? At this point, I'm a little confused. Joined May 17, Messages This aint a problem with Chrome it is with your Window permissions.

I presume that you are saving to C drive and also that your windows does not let applications edit the drive. For a confirmation, if You have to click "YES" while copying files manually to the drive, I am right. And for the solution, i am also in a similar position, I know what the problem is, but not able to solve it.

Will post once I find one..
