Windows 10: ownership of my documents and photos

I'm troubled that any documents I create on my Lenovo, running Windows 10, and any photos I load in are put somewhere, not in my documents or photos, and then sent to the cloud, where I understand that I have to pay for the storage. I am not able to prevent what I consider theft of my intellectual property or move these things into their proper places. I hardly use this laptop and can't use it at all for the purpose it was intended. My kids have a new Dell with Windows 10 that doesn't do this. Any suggestions as to being able to use this machine?

Hi,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community. Your interest in Windows 10 is much appreciated.

I suggest you to follow the below steps to give permission for entire system, so that you can save the files in photos and documents.

• Right click on the folder and click on properties.
• Click on security tab and select the group\user name.
• Click on edit option and check the option full control.
• Click on apply and then on ok button.

Now you can try saving the file in photos and documents and check if the issue persists.

Lost default photo viewer after profile rebuild


Thanks Brink. I've tried those steps before i started searching Google. After the profile rebuild i don't have the Photo app listed to choose to make it default in either the system settings for default apps or the Open With option.

I can't even find it doing a search. Seems to have been removed somehow with the profile rebuild, which doesn't make sense.

Might be helpful to list what i've done I've done the open with check, the choose default program in the system menu, tried that in device manager default programs also. I've checked the programs and features Turn windows features on/off and it's not listed there (never thought it was but that was a suggestion), searched the MS Store, it's not listed there either.

I don't like playing in the registry unless i have defined steps and haven't found anything for this yet, just the Win7 version like in my OP.
