The system is a Dell XPS 410 with 2GB memory, plenty of hard dish storage.
There is the C drive with all of the OS and programs stored on it. On the D
drive, there is a "My Documents" folder and then a sub folder called
"Sunday". I have several documents that I created and saved in the Sunday
folder. Now, when I open a document, any document, from that folder, it is
read only. I tried to do a 'save as' function from the file menu to save it
under a different name in the Sunday folder. Access was denied. The error
is "Word cannot save or create this file. Make sure that the disk you want to
save this file on is not full, write protected, or damaged. D:My
Documents\Sunday\ReadOnly file.doc."
I tried to do a save as in the My Documents folder - one up from the
Sunday folder - and received exactly the same reponse.
As a final test, I created a d:\new folder, and was able to save the
Readonly file.doc as under a new name with no problems.
This system is a standalone system, and it is not connected to any network
- except for the dialup modem connection to my ISP.
I have searched the August 2006 TechNet - the latest I have - for any
suggestions on how to solve this problem, to no avail. Every D:\[Folder] is
write protected, but I can create a new folder on the D:\ level and am able
to use it for saving documents. I'm looking for a way to give me permission
to save to all of the old folders rather than being forced to create new
folders, opening each document, and doing a file/save as in the new folder.
I have tried the system restore point from several past days, but none of
them produces the desired results.
I have run a disk defrag on the D drive, but that didn't solve the problem
either.
Thanks for your time and effort. regards, milt

The problem is in the security settings for the folder(s) on that drive.
Right click the "Sunday" folder and change the NTFS permissions on the
folder to ensure that the account you're logged in to the machine with has
Modify permissions, at least. That will allow you to do what you need to do.
If you don't have permission to change the settings, you can either take
ownership, or you will have to log in with an account that _does_ have
permission, and change it.

Thanks, Charlie Russel, for the information. There are a couple of questions.
When I select the folder/right click/select properties, there are three
tabs - general, sharing, and customize. Shouldn't there be a security tab to
select? There isn't one there. What steps are necessary to have it return?
When the XP Pro system comes up, there are two accounts presented to be
used to log on. Neither of them is the 'Administrator' account; although one
of them is in the 'Administrator group.' If I logged on as 'Administrator'
would I, then, be able to see the security tab on the properties page of the
folders? Then maybe, logging on as the 'Administrator' wouldn't make any
difference since the other account has administrator privileges? (That last
sentence should really be a question.)
Isn't the security tab necessary to give the other account the 'take
ownership' rights? Thanks for you kind efforts and time on my part to help
resolve this problem. Have a great day. regards, milt

In XP and XP x64, you need to go to Tools, Folder Options, View tab and
uncheck 'Use Simple File Sharing'. That will give you the Security tab.

Jane C: Thank you very, very much. That was the information that I needed.
When I taught the W2000 MSCE courses, a similiar thing could be done through
start/settings menu, but I didn't know how to do it in XP. I've since
retired from the computer (and all other) business; so, the mind does get
rusty on little things that you don't use frequently. Thanks again. You
saved me many, many hours of sitting at the computer when I would rather be
out in the woodworking shop building furniture for my family and toys for my
great granddaughter. regards, milt
