    you don't have permission to save in this location


    Latest Windows update


    I am a developer and one client is having the issue that his app can't save ordinary text files to his Documents folder. They can be saved to the User root

    below Documents. I added 'everyone' with full control to the permissions list for Documents but this had no effect even after a reboot. The user account also has full control. This problem has not been seen on any other machine. This problem occurs with one app even when run as administrator but does not affect Office files. The app is a normal .msi installed app that has worked flawlessly on numerous other computers. There is only one User account on this machine that is a normal Windows home or pro pc.


    Error message

    'you don't have permission to save in this location. Contact the administrator to obtain permission'


    What is the real underlying cause of this error message?

    :)

    You dont have permission to save in this location...


    This is a process but it worked for me:
    You can follow these steps for one folder or go here to make sure your folder is shared with Everyone
    1.Right click on the folder that you can't access and click share with >specific people
    2. Click add and then enter Everyone for a user name
    3. Click read permissions where it says read to read/write
    4. Click share, click done

    1. Right click properties on the folder you can't access
    2. Click advanced.
    3. Click change owner
    4. Type Everyone for the owner and select owner reset to full control.
    5. close properties
    6. Then click on the save file box and choose the default folder you want to save to in the open dialog box.
    With a new owner with full control of everything and sharing it should work if you followed this completely. Worked for me. *Shock
