When I try to save my files from applications in my Profile directories found under (C:\Users\Ben) I get an error that says "You don't have permission to save in this location. Contact the administrator to obtain permission"
The thing is though is that I AM the administrator. I've tried to "Changing Ownership to my administrator login and my personal login, but the error never goes away. Though I'm not 100% sure I've did the Change Ownership thing correctly.
I can save to the directory if I'm using Window File Explorer, but only after clicking the Admin only option of "Continue" when the warning dialog appears.
Any tips from anyone? Anyone else seeing this problem?
Can you save it to sub folders? You are not supposed to be saving stuff to that folder anyway, for organization's sake. – Havenard – 2015-08-18T00:47:33.947
Saving to the sub folders of my user folder is what I mean (Documents, Pictures, Music, etc). I can also save from the desktop using the file explorer if I give it the administrator "Continue" when the dialog is presented. But in programs like a web browser or Word, it won't let me save. – Ben – 2015-08-18T01:05:23.437

Changin ownership should solve this problem, so what You need to do step by step is: - Open
C:\Users
- Right click your userBen
- properties - security - advanced - owner - edit - make sure your user name is selected as owner - check thereplace owner on subcontainers and objects
- press ok. If this doesn't works we I will do some more research for additional solutions. – Divin3 – 2015-08-18T01:45:47.090@divin3 I did all that previously thought I'm not sure I did chose the correct user. It was something like "administrator/ben". Now my computer went to sleep and when I try to wake it up it presented me with the login background, but would not show me any login fields. I restarted and now I get an eternal Windows Spinner. Restarted again. Spinner again. It seems Microsoft blew up my computer with their upgrade. – Ben – 2015-08-18T01:49:13.617
can You enter in safe mode? – Divin3 – 2015-08-18T02:50:07.180
There should be nothing about administrators when you change the owner. It should be your own account. If you change the owner incorrectly, your account will be broken. – Sami Kuhmonen – 2015-08-29T16:27:18.407
