Installed windows 10 a couple days ago
I get a notice that I can 't save to my documents without admi permission. I am administrator
It will allow to save to another folder (picures)
How can I allow to save to documents
 

Solution
You have a dual boot or old share is my guess... just open the folder to take control or if it's an app, run it as admin
An image from 'need to get administrator permission to save to my documents'. The images show enabling 'Run as administrator' for a Neverwinter Nights 2 shortcut on a Windows desktop.

I finally got it ! thanks for the help ussnorway. I was being forced when I clicked "print Screen" to save to another folder. After going to the folder and walking my way through it I clicked the right buttons and now it's back to the folder I want ( documents)

fyi it's not a good idea to move the default pics folder off the c drive- user location... ime you are much safer to leave your screens there and just point to them with a shortcut from where-ever you put the main pics

it's your system but Windows can get a little weird if you [re]move too many default locations
