Ie file cannot be downloaded

Our office manager cannot download files with her IE I've reset IE settings to no avail. I installed Chrome as a backup to download files and it wont work either. Before I do something like re-create profile, is there anything else I can try for this issue?

And if I do recreate the profile, is there a best practice for this? I've seen several sites and information about this but no one good way to do this.

With Windows 7, makes sure you delete the profile via the registry or through the profile menu in Advanced System options. If it is roaming, then delete it from the server folders after, then relog.

Easy to follow. No jargon. Pictures helped. Problem with updated Microsoft edge. Skip to main content. Find threads, tags, and users In taking a look at the Microsoft Edge Policies document I came across two possible solutions DownloadRestructions - I don't think this is the right approach; seems too broad ExemptDomainFileTypePairsFromFileTypeDownloadWarnings - This seems like the most appropriate solution but even after manually creating that policy Edge still displays the prompt.

Any advice is greatly appreciated. Comment Show 0. Current Visibility: Visible to all users. Hi juliuspiv , Your guess is correct. Hope this can help you. Download Manager keeps track of pictures, documents, and other files you download from the web. Files you've downloaded are automatically saved in the Downloads folder. You can always move downloads from the Downloads folder to other places on your PC.

To view files you've downloaded while using Internet Explorer, open Internet Explorer, select the Tools button, and then select View downloads. You'll be able to see what you've downloaded from the web, where these items are stored on your PC, and choose actions to take on your downloads. Open Internet Explorer, select the Tools button, and then select View downloads. In the View Downloads dialog box, select Options in the lower-left. Choose a different default download location by selecting Browse and then selecting OK when you're done.

Internet Explorer uses add-ons such as Adobe Reader to view some files in the browser. If a file that needs an add-on won't open, you might have an older version of the add-on, which needs to be updated.

When you download a file, Internet Explorer checks for clues that the download is malicious or potentially harmful to your PC. If Internet Explorer identifies a download as suspicious, you'll be notified so you can decide whether or not to save, run, or open the file.

Not all files you're warned about are malicious, but it's important to make sure you trust the site you're downloading from, and that you really want to download the file. If you see a security warning that tells you the publisher of this program couldn't be verified, this means that Internet Explorer doesn't recognize the site or organization asking you to download the file.
