    So if I have a document called "hello.doc" and I go to Save As, to either rename it, or save as a PDF, windows explorer automatically opens on another document and I have almost saved over other critical documents!


    So, I have hello.doc > Save AS > Windows Explorers now opens to "critical_do_not_delete.doc" and highlights it, so that I can no longer see the original document name "hello.doc".


    This is SCARY!

    Unable to Save to Documents


    I can't move, copy or save anything to my Documents folder. I checked the properties of the folder, under serurity it listed only Home Users and WMP Network Svc. My account name is listed in the srcurity tabs of Pictures, Music, etc., and I am able to save, copy and move to those folders. My account is listed in C:/Windows/Users/myname/Documents under the security tab. How do I add my name to the Documents folder in File Explorer? I think that should fix my problem.

    In a not so critical glitch, my computer will not go to sleep using the power settings in the control panel.
     
  3. Unable to save Word 2010 in Pc documents.

    Original Title: Saving word files to documents

    Just upgraded to windows 10 and can't save Microsoft word 2010 file to: this PC/documents/SOAG/labels. prompt says "don't have permission to save in this location. contact the administrator to obtain permission. would you like to save in documents instead?"
    I am the administrator. this is the documents folder. when I click yes, prompt window disappears and nothing is saved. Can't save to one drive either. some suggestions in the answers section suggest turning off Bluetooth to have word function better, Bluetooth
    is not connected. In order to create new folder I had to click on a security permission window. Is there something like that here that I am not finding?

    Help!!! I can't use my computer if I can't save anything!!!!
