[SOLVED] Internet Explorer downloads can't save to redirected folder

hello!  i've deployed small network of few windows 7 clients , server 2008.  server updated sp1 , windows 7 updated sp1 on 1 of client machines.  client computers still haven't been placed on users desks.  use folder redirection have in past windows xp, , i've configured some, not folders, redirected.  less important folders saved games , links aren't backed up.  don't know why links folder exists, that's not important right now.

the issue noticed opened internet explorer on client computer, , noticed if tried download file, made sure downloads folder in user profile folder selected destination, , ensured downloads folder redirected server share user, if hit save, window asking me download goes away, noticed comes again, , tell second time save downloads folder [that has been redirected], , doesn't.  ie never downloads file.  if try downloading again, , choose different location desktop [which isn't redirected], download works fine.

my initial reaction oh, maybe user odd reason doesn't have permissions downloads folder that's redirected.  opened user folder within test account, opened downloads folder, , created new folders , files in there.  of them worked no problem.  drag downloaded file had downloaded through ie 9 , saved on desktop on downloads folder , worked ok well.

i don't remember testing file downloads before upgraded machine, computer running ie9 after recent updates, not sure if has it.

any appreciated.  please let me know if need more information.

think bug, , reckon it's ie9. see http://rcmtech.wordpress.com/2011/06/03/annoying-redirected-downloads-folder-behaviour-with-internet-explorer/

irrespective of ntfs folder permissions (i know, makes no sense) need change share permissions users have full control.

i thank you.
