> *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 permissions

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>*

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 should take ownership this folder see

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