  1. Needing Admin permission to save to a location


    I want to save a downloaded file to a folder on my Windows 10 PC but it says I can't without the Administrator's permission. However, it offers an alternative location that I don't want to use.


    I'm the only user and apparently switched something on that I can't find out how to undo.


    Any suggestions on how I can save a downloaded file to anywhere I want on my PC?

    :)

    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
