Default Windows 7 Being Dumb

It keeps telling me I don't have permission to save to some locations or delete certain files and I need administrator permission. How can I fix that..?

1) Are you an administrator?

2) Where are you trying to save/delete?

Uhh, I think? I mean this is my computer and we got it like 3 days ago, there's only 1 profile thingy on here, so you would think so.

And I'm trying to save a Word Document to a folder where all my files are. Might not be able to save images there in the future which would be bad for my spriting career. xD

Have you made sure that the folder's not read-only?

Microsoft can barely make a stable OS. They can't fix a single machine if they can't fix all of them.

One of two options. Go for Windows 7 Black, if you think it's an OS issue.

OR

Do the intelligent thing, and make sure you're saving the Word file as a .rtf [Rich Text Format]. There's no text document reader [Aside from Notepad I should think] that cant read that. .rtf files tent to be smaller than a standard .mwd anyway.

If I could like half a post, I would totally do it.

Anyways, try this:

Right-click the folder, click Properties, and then switch to the Security tab, and then click "Edit." Then, click on your user in the box thing, and click the "Allow" check box next to Full Control. If it was already checked, then switch to the General tab, and see if the "Read Only" box is checked (as in having a blue square in it for some reason). If it is, uncheck it.

I vote we ban techno from this board.


You should either try running word as administrator or manually setting the ownership of your folders.

Are you sure you are logged in as the same user as you were originally logged in as? Sometimes a restart can fix weird issues like that.

I know that permissions can be one of the most headache-inducing things, especially when indirectly accessing files. I was having trouble with that yesterday on Linux (the site's server) until I realized root owned one file and www-data owned the rest.

The problem turned out to be that it was on read only and the (only) user we have on this computer couldn't modify stuff in the folder, but I fixed that. Thanks guys.

Thread can be closed.
