Thank you for your replies

Where did you install Paint.NET?

Is it on a network or something?

[Rick Brewster]

Do this for me please:

1. Click on the Start button/Windows pearl

2. Type in %TEMP% and then press enter

3. An Explorer window should pop up, and it will be open to your "temporary files" directory

4. Press Alt+D (this will place the keyboard focus in the path text box)

5. Press Ctrl+C (this will copy the path to the clipboard)

6. Come back here to the forum, and paste (Ctrl+V) that path into a reply to this thread

For example, on my system I get "C:\Users\Rick\AppData\Local\Temp"
