Win 10 suddenly will not allow me to edit ACADDOC.LSP

Running Win 10 and today I tried to edit ACADDOC,LST and I get this message telling me "You don't have permission to save in the location. Contact the administrator to obtain permission."  I am the administrator for my computer. Never had this happen before!

Can't edit anything is any ACAD directories, either.  No ACAD program is open.

Any suggestions??

 

Thanks,

Note sure what ACADDOC,LST is. But perhaps you mean ACADDOC.LSP?

Where is this file located?

Where ever it is, stop and create a new folder named C:\CADSTUFF (or whatever you like).

Move your ACADDOC.LSP file into this folder.

Add C:\CADSTUFF at the top of your support file search path in AutoCAD.

Done.

pendean,

 

I tried the various methods in the referenced URL, but none seem to work.

I HATE Win 10!!!  Never had this issue with Win 7.

There is nothing wrong with Win 10. We manage hundreds of Win 10 machines with no issues. Follow the steps in post #2 and be done with it.

Some ideas:

Make certain your user account has full admin rights on the PC (can't hurt to double check)

If you use Windows defender, make sure if you have controlled folder access enabled, that notepad.exe is a listed exception

right click on notepad and hit "Run as Administrator", then navigate to where your .lsp is stored and open/edit/save changes as usual.

if still denied, try a new (Windows) user account or activate the built-in Administrator account and try from there (run cmd.exe as Administrator and run the following string- net users Administrator /active:yes) you will see this account now listed on Windows log-in screen. Just remember to turn it off when done using it. (substitute no for yes in the same code that turned it on)

Good luck...

I went to "Accounts" - "Your info" and I am shown as Administrator. 

 

But when I double click on acaddoc.lsp to open Notepad to open and save acaddoc.lsp, a pop-up box tells me "You do not have permission to open this file.  See the owner of the file or an administrator to obtain permission".

 

If I run notepad as administrator and go to the Support sub-directory, the contents do not show up!

 

However, when I open Edit Pad Lite 7 and so the Support sub-directory, the contents do show up and I can save the file.  What gives???

 

I ran cmd.exe nd then "net users Administrator /active:yes" and got the following:

System error 5 has occurred.

Access is denied.

 

Any suggestions.

Still getting the attached error message trying to open acaddoc.lsp with Edit Pad by double clicking on the file.  "Image3.jpg".

 

Ditto with notepad. Image 4.jpg

 

Also was able to run the attached, "image 2.jpg"

 

The only way I was able to edit the file was running Edit Pad as "administrator".  Previously all I ever needed to do was simply double click on the file.  Something is not right!

 

Note, I am a one man shop so my IT expertise is limited.  Doping consulting Electrical Engineering is what I do.  "Fixing" computer issues doesn't come easy.  Keeping ACAD running takes too much time as it is.  I am using ACAD 2018, 2019, and 2020.  Win 10 trashed my last computer when it toasted the OS during an "upgrade" that horribly failed!  Fortunately I am rigorous about backups..  Didn't lose any files but it cost me a new computer  ($$$) and 3-4 weeks.

 

Thanks for your help!

Did you run cmd "as Administrator"? That's the only way the "net user...." and other system level strings will run....(even when logged in as "Administrator"- yes this seems redundant, if you log in as administrator, seems like anything you run should be as administrator, but not so in the world according to Microsoft)

It really sounds like a corrupted Windows user account. This can cause all sorts of weird, inconsistent, and unpleasant behavior. That's why I suggested trying either a brand-new admin level user account, or the built-in administrator.

Let us know if you try either of these different user account options, & what happens.

Danial,

 

Thanks so much for your reply!

 

I just ran notepad in "run as administrator" and tried to open C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2020\Support\acaddoc.lsp, but in the open file dialog, nothing showed to open, only sub folders!  Only if in file open dialog by entering :C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2020\Support\acaddoc.lsp would it open up and be able to save.  Never had to do this ever!

 

One could say I found a "work around" for the Win 10 issue, but . . .  But this "fix" didn't work with edit pad (which is a great text editor!)  If I try to save as another file name, I am told I don't have permission to same in this location.

 

I just noticed this, when I right click on preferences for the mother folder , the attributes show as read only.  I uncheck it, pick apply, the read only box is cleared, and close the dialog.  Pop-ups show the attributes being changed.  But, going right back to preferences, the attributes show read only again.  What gives?

 

I know many are running Win 10, but I never had these issues in Win 7.  Win 10 seems to have way too many settings and sub settings.  All I want to do is use the computer to run an engineering business, not fight the OS!!!!

 

I just changed the attribute only for the individual file, and I was able to save my changes.  @*#$%&*!!  Go figure.

 

Thanks,

Richard

This may be a silly question, but in notepad, when you hit "file" then "open" down towards the bottom right of the dialog box, where it shows "Text Documents(*.txt)" did you expand that box and pick "All Files(*.*)" option?- otherwise all you will see in any folder are .txt files.....If you select the all files option, you should be able to see and edit just about any type of file on the PC...at least you found a workaround for this episode, but that may help for future issues...

Yep, it was on .txt files.  Changing it to *.* made the individual files show, duh.

 

Thanks,
