While running an ASP.NET application in Visual Studio, I
frequently get the following error:

System.Security.Policy.PolicyException occurred in
mscorlib.dll
Additional information:
Policy level User cannot be saved.

Security.Policy.PolicyLevel.GenerateConfigFile

Of course, it screws up everything and loses my session.

So what file is it trying to save? Where is it trying to
save it? Why doesn't this just work. It certainly isn't
any of my code doing this. What security settings need
to be changed.

I have a straight-forward install of Visual Studio.NET on
Windows XP.

BTW, I consider this a bug in .NET. It shouldn't require
me to have to make changes unless it it is well
documented and I can find no documentation that helps me
here. I have already search MSDN quite a bit on this one.

Thanks,
