I just reformatted and reinstalled Windows 8 yesterday. I'm running avast! and Privatefirewall on this machine.
I found this problem when I tried to save create and save a text file in notepad called "hello", containing the text "hi" to the root of the C drive (C:\). I wanted to create this file and make it hidden because I just ran Trend Micro RootkitBuster and it reported (scan took 1 second) that it couldn't find any hidden files, so I wanted to make one and rescan.. Because it may be relevant I'll post the (very) short log here:
Anyways when I try to save C:\hello.txt, it says:
I just checked and I am the only user on this machine and I am an administrator..
What gives?

You don't have permission to save in this location. Contact the administrator to obtain permission. Would you like to save in the My Documents folder instead? |
What gives?
