saving .txt

[alexm]

written text in notepad will not save.

That is not much info to go on...
...but here are things that come to mind:

1) The file might be read-only.

2) The file might reside in a protected folder.

3) NTFS permissions might prevent you from saving the file.

Hello Alex,

You might see if you may be able to save it to another location and/or with a different file name.

Try Wordpad.

Alex,

Are you having problems with saving to a specific folder location, or ??

 

[alexm]

hello Brink. It would seem a logical place to save txt. would be my documents. txt for some reason will not save there. I also have my documents on k:\username\my documents. the folder on c:\ shows a whopping 10.6 giga, while on k:\ 50.5 MB.

As a test, use the tutorial below to add "Take Ownership" to your context menu.

Afterwards, right click on the folder that you are not able to save to, and click on "Take Ownership".

When finished, see if you are able to save to the folder now.

cbs.log... denied access

Did you try:

findstr /c:"[SR]" %windir%\Logs\CBS\CBS.log >"%userprofile%\Desktop\sfcdetails.txt"

 

[alexm]

the my documents would not succumb to the command. a command window opened & kept running. other folders under user would blink very quickly & fade.

Since you moved your Documents folder to K, then is that where you are trying to save to and not to C?

 

[alexm]

brink saving to k:\ my documents worked. what do I do with 10 gigabytes of files In my documents on c:\??

 

[Brink]

Are you able to copy and paste them from C to K?

 

[alexm]

I just finished coping & pasting my documents from c:\ to k:\. k:\ my documents properties has no location tab or restore defaught button. Is this right ??

 

[Brink]

Does C: have a locations tab?

What does your permissions show for Documents at C:?

[alexm]

yes c:\ has a location tab. By permissions you mean like security ?? that highlights In blue.

 

[Brink]

Correct. Like below. You would want to check to make sure that your account has "Full control" checked for "this folder, subfolders and files".
