    Error when Saving text file to D:


    I believe I am administrator but if I try to save a notepad text file, I get A required privilege is not held by the client Can I fix this anyhow? Thanks - - - Updated - - - I managed to find a solution via Google Press Windows key + R, type in regedit and hit Enter.Go to path below and change the DWORD to 0. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System, EnableLUA and set to 0. However, maybe someone can help me with another problem, when i boot up it tells me Administrator The username or password is incorrect. Try again OK I Hit enter and get other stuff on the screen, various users (all me) and a password prompt. If I wait, or hit enter again it eventually makes it to the desktop. Can anyone help me figure out why this is happening. There should be no bloody passwords!

    :)

    Saves log files ?

    You can either read the files in Windows or my preferred method is.....

    Download CCcleaner from here...........

    CCleaner Professional | Try the world’s most trusted PC cleaner, free!

    You can then run cleaner, you will see the log files listed, then if you right click you can save as a text file and then have a read. You may also get an "error reporting" log listed seperatly.

  3. No permission to save to D:\ drive

    Hi Charlotte,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    In order to get clarity on this issue and assist you with appropriate troubleshooting steps, please reply with the answers to the questions below.

    • Have you mapped the libraries to the D: drive?
    • Is the issue specific to the subfolder in D: drive?

    Try the below methods and check if this helps.

    Method 1: Creating New File In D: Drive.

    1. Go to D: drive > Right-click on an empty space in D: drive > Click on
      New > Click Text Document.
    2. Give a name to the Text Document and save it and check if you get the same error.

    If you don't get any error while saving the file in D: drive and you get this error message only while saving a document in D:\charl\Documents, then follow
    Method 2 to take the ownership of Documents folder, else follow
    Method 3
    .

    Method 2: Taking Ownership Of A Particular Folder.

    1. Click on Start Menu > Search for Command Prompt >
      Right-click on Command Prompt > Click on Run As Administrator.
    2. Once the Command Prompt is up and running, type the following commands and hit
      Enter after each command.

    takeown /f <foldername> /r /d y

    icacls <foldername> /grant administrators:F /T

    Note: Replace foldername with the path of the folder.

    3. Once the above commands are executed successfully,
    restart the computer once, and check if you are able to save the documents in that folder.

    Method 3: Check If You Are The Administrator From Netplwiz.

    1. Click on the Start menu > Search for Netplwiz > Hit
      Enter.
    2. Click on your user name and click on Properties.
    3. Go to Group Membership tab and choose Administrator > Click on
      Apply > OK.
    4. Once you change this setting, restart the computer once and check for the issue.

    Method 3: Disabling Antivirus.

    If you have installed any third-party security software, I suggest you to temporarily disable them, restart the computer once, and check for the issue.

    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you shouldn't disable your antivirus software. If you have to temporarily disable it to install other
    software, you should re-enable it as soon as you're done. If you're connected to the Internet or a network while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    Give it a shot and let us know of any changes.

    Hope it helps.
