Can't edit and resave a .txt file??
I'm obviously not used to all this new permission stuff.
I have files on external drives that I need to access and update. So I opened a 'txt' file I had created with Notepad (with XP or Vista64), made a small change and then I was not allowed to re-save to the same folder with the same name. Ctrl+S popped up a 'file save' dialogue box and when I navigated to the folder on the external drive and tried to overwrite the original I got Permission Denied.
What's going on?
I will also access this same drive with other computers running XP or Vista64 so I don't want to do anything that will make it impossible to share the data.
This is not a public computer, I'm the only user, I have a hardware firewall, I have never ever had a single virus in 20 years of computing (old 8088 days..), I image my hard disks regularly .. so I don't need a super security system preventing me from opening and saving my own files.
I'm just afraid to poke at it for fear of rendering these files inaccessible on my other systems.
Thanks for any advice
