Hi,
I had this problem before with another computer but can't find the relevant posts on the forum.
I have just installed windows 10 on a new computer and can't save FreeBasic files.
C:\FreeBasic\test\test1.bas
You don't have permission to save to this location.
Contact the administrator to obtain permission.
Would you like to save in the xyz folder instead?
Of course like most useless advice it says do x without saying how to do x.
Any ideas how i can take control of the computer?

Re: window10 denies saving file
Apparently you are not logged in as an admin?
Or you need to set privileges for c:\.
Typically win does not want users to save to root folder, that is not secure. Rather c:\users\XXXXX\freebasic
OR
setup D: drive partition and save to that root

Hi JohnK_RQ
How do I log in as admin?
I can right click the FBIde icon on the desktop and choose, run as administrator and it works, but on my other win10 computer it just works.

Not sure what is going on. You have to be an admin to set your privileges to admin. If you are the only user then you should be an admin.
Check Settings-users and accounts- your account - check you are an admin
You can right click on a folder /drive and set read write privileges to all users, through a series of dialogs.
I know I have compliers on my C drive, that I can run normal under win10, so a matter of settings

Re: window10 denies saving file
Even if you are Admin, you have to run your IDE as Admin in order to save files to this location. You are better configure your IDE to save files to some where else, preferred under your home directory as John said.

Be generous, create a drive F: (F as in FreeBasic)
Re: window10 denies saving file
I think this is not needed. A directory where you have permission to write is enough.jj2007 wrote:Be generous, create a drive F: (F as in FreeBasic)
Re: window10 denies saving file
You are right, it's not needed. If you are happier with C:\Users\Cretin ho\Documents\Freebasic, go ahead. I prefer a drive J: for all my programming.Cretin Ho wrote:I think this is not needed.
