Save path not remembered and more

Question

Hello
Coming from PSE6 on mac, had to upgrade because of the lack of Canon D550 raw files support and went PC at the same time. 1st rant - no upgrade from 6 to 9?? Had to buy the damn app all over again?!
So now, it really annoys me no end that I have to specify the save path every time a save a foto. This wasn't always the case - as with normal apps running under windows, PS would remember where you last saved and keep that path until changed. I also find it very annoying to have to deseclect the organizer function each time. And while I'm at it...bridge for mac was so much easier to handle that the organizer. Why is it that foto software these days keeps using these organizer tools that more and more work like a mere preset catalogue for holiday, christmas and wedding pics?? I  don't need people recognition, a mother's day preset, etc etc.
Just let me browse my folders, and please generate thumbnails for Raw files IN the folder, not just the preview in the bottom!...it would make so much more sense just to have a browse function in the file menu. Why don't you just keep things simple and practical??

Answer 1

It’s usually due to incorrect permissions settings on the OS.
Open Windows Explorer and navigate to:
C:\Program Files\Adobe
Locate the Photoshop Elements 9 folder (the one with the blue PSE logo)
Right click on that folder and choose Properties - then click the security tab and make the following changes:
1. Click on the edit button to change permissions.
2. Click Add and type the word “Everyone” in the Object names Box (without the quotation marks) and click OK.
3. Under group/User Names select everyone so that it becomes highlighted.
4. Put a check mark in the box against Allow Full Control and click Apply.
N.B. for Windows 64 bit navigate to Program Files (x86)
PSE should now remember you last settings rather than reverting to the default settings.
