As long as CF has rights to write where you specify, you're okay. I usually put the .car files in the logs directory.
I don't know why the archiving function would be throwing errors like you got. It can be pretty tempermental; it works on some of my systems and doesn't work on others. Internet Exploder works better than Firefox sometimes, you can try that. If that doesn't work, I get the admin settings by copying all the neo*.xml config files.

Shoot, I misspoke in my original email. The path I gave for the archive was C:\temp\archive.car And CF *DOES* have permission to write to C:\temp What I don't understand is why it is trying to write to E:\dsns_and_stuff.car and then C:\dsns_and_stuff.car since those aren't the paths nor the file names I've requested it to use. I suppose I could give CF permission to the C:\ drive in order to get this to work but that's pretty retarded if that's what I *HAVE* to do.
