Which directory and what are you trying to write to it?

A Word Pro File to a sub Directory. On further testing it appears that this
problem relates to Word Pro only. But I just can not figer out what is
happening, the scurity setting I can find do not seem to have this as an
option. The Directory's seem to re set the read only box for some reason
even though I cancel this option and apply it.

I want to clarify my problem. I'm trying to get data off a friends drive so
I can store it while I reinstall XP on their machine. I've put their drive
in my computer as a slave. I only have one account on my XP Home Edition, so
I believe I'm running as the administrator. When I right-click on a folder,
I do not see any securities tab to click to take ownership of the folder?
Does this make it any clearer? Can I get the Administrator documents from
another hard drive onto mine? I know the password for their administrator
account, but their machine will not boot!
Should I still have to go into SAFE MODE to get administrator rights?

Help? Again?
