    Can't save to desktop


    I have an HP Pavillion Notebook and am running Windows 10. Recently I think since my last windows update but I'm not 100% sure I've been unable to save anything to my desktop. I can't save new files there, or make changes to any I have previously put on my desktop. The error message I get when I try to do so says I do not have permission to save files in this location and tells me to contact an administrator. Mine is the only user account on the laptop and I've checked the user permissions under the 'security' tab of the 'properties' window for the C: drive and also for the 'desktop' folder

    :)

    Move Favorites icon to desktop win-10

    Your suggestion does not work. It did work on Windows 7.

    Hi,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community and thank you for your interest in Windows.

    • How are you trying to add the favorites to desktop?
    I suggest you to try the below steps to save the favorites on desktop and check if it helps.

    • Open the Internet Explorer and minimize the screen.
    • Then go to the favorites tab and then drag any favorites that you have saved to the desktop.
    • Once you get the favorites items \ folders then you can open the favorites and check if it is opening.
    Hope this information was helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.
