My Documents in Vista is not folder only junction which corresponds to folders C:\Users\<account>\Documents and you should save there files.All junctions in Vista have permission:deny list folder read data thus you can't do that.It is normal and you shouldn't change permissionswhen i try to save a document from word or excel. it won't let me save it in my documents say that i need administrator right.
see also:Documents and settings is not accessible. Access is denied.
I don't understand what is going on I can't seem to save it to any folder inside documents. As a matter of fact can't save it to anywhere.
Check permissions for C:\Users\<your account> and subfoldersI can't seem to save it to any folder inside documents. As a matter of fact can't save it to anywhere.
You ,SYSTEM account and Administrators group should have full control (everything enabled)-if is unlike you should correct it but remember the owner of C:\Users\<your account> is SYSTEM not you ,if you want change permission for this folder you have to take ownership this folder see also:Folder Permissions

If you go, C:, Windows, software distribution, then security, you will see the permissions you have, and can grant full control there.
