HELP: Unable to copy files to CD

[Bob Hewson]

I am unable to save a file to a CDRW that has been copied to many times by
me.

I get a "save as" error message that says "you do not have permission to
save in this directory. See the administrator to obtain permission."

My computer is a home computer, I have no administrator. I did however
try MS XP base line security advisor which wouldn't work as well. During my
attempts I changed the name of my computer, and don't recall its prior name.
Somehow I suspect this is related to my problem.

Help would be appreciated.

You need to logon as the administrator.
