These instructions are for users of Microsoft Vista who need to download EndNote filters, styles or connection files.
Vista will not allow the user to save files to the Program Files area. This is the area where the EndNote Filters, Styles and Connections folders normally reside.
If you wish to download additional filters, styles or connection files, you will have to change the location of your Filters, Styles and Connection folders to the Documents area of the hard drive. You then have to amend the preferences in EndNote so that it is aware of this change.
For example, if you want to download some additional filters, you must find the EndNote Filters folder in the Program Files, copy that folder, and paste it into the Documents area. Then you can download the additional filters and save them in the new folder.
Then go to EndNote and click on Edit on the menu bar. From the drop-down menu select Preferences. When the Preferences window opens, look for the section named Folder Locations.
The Folder Location for your Filters folder will be in the Program Files area. You must browse to locate the new folder in the Documents area, and select the new folder.
The same procedure applies if you want to download extra styles or connection files.
