Do you get an error like, "The administrator has disabled this feature" or
something similar? Is the "SAVE" function in the dialog box greyed out? If
so, navigate to the following registry entry and delete
"NoSelectDownloadDir" in the right-hand pane.

HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Restrictions

Also you may find "NoSelectDownloadDir" at this location

HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Restrictions

I gave you the answer in my previous post for your problem. Use the registry
editor to get to the locations.
