Autosave error: No permissions

I get this message each time autosave attempts to save my work: 

 

"You do not have permission to save to this location. Contact your administrator to obtain permission"

 

I have checked the directory permissions and Everyone has full access to that folder.

 

I am able to manually save fine.

 

This is AutoCAD 2011

Autosave does not necessarily save the autosave file to the same folder in whch the drawing is saved.  The SAVEFILEPATH system variable stores the path (folder location) for autosaved files.  Check the permissions on that folder.

I have checked the permissions on the folder where the autosave files go.

"\Users\Username\appdata\local\temp" has full access permissions for Everyone.

I too am having the issue with a pop up"

"You do not have permissions to save to this location. Contact your System Administrator."

AutoCAD , Inventor, Vault for workgroups all 2015.

This just started out of the blue on Monday. Pops up randomly every 30 seconds or so. Appears to be auto save. Verified user has access to temp Directory, Drive is not full, no windows errors logged.
