For some strange reason, my computer, which I have had for almost 4 years,
will no longer save downloaded files.
It goes through the motions..., download progress, green dots displaying
download is active, but the file never shows in any of my folders.
I tried to save to desktop to be certain I wasn't imagining the problem.
Still, the symptoms persist.
I am wondering if the recently updated "Windows Defender" will have changed
my security status. I do have admin rights.
P.S. When I run "Registry Mechanic, the files I attempted to download are
detected in my "Documents & Settings" {my name], Local Settings, Temp folder.

Another crazy event is I can no longer open "My Computer to the above
mentioned folders. It hangs. What's up with that?

files and folders search and the updates are there but file not. shortcut is
not valid but none of it will delete because the main file i forget right now
is missing. its beta so i know there has to be somekind of glitches needing
to be worked out.
