Hi, Tony.

Sure, C:\downloads\NewFile should work fine. But C:\NewFile probably would
not be allowed - unless an Administrator furnishes the password and insists.

Vista prohibits writing files IN THE ROOT (C:\file.txt), but not in FOLDERS
under the root (C:\folder\file.txt).

Another case: I have on occasion had CCleaner do its thing on the
registry (just testing) and I save the .REG backup file to C:\ without
a problem.

I can save any file I decide to save to the root directory without a
problem.

NOTE: I have UAC turned OFF.
