Ah. If your username is on it, then you are the owner. So ... I am also at a loss. Can you post the exact message you are getting when you try to save? Have you tried copying a document from your C drive to the external? What message do you get then? Is this only an MS office thing?

When you say user name, what exactly do you mean; as I have never set up any of this stuff previously. So, I am at a loss for clarity. Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: JM Casey Sent: Thursday, December 7, 2017 12:13 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Administrative rights on External Hard Drive HI. Is this a prompt? As in, do you have the option to continue? If not, you should try changing the "owner" of the drive. Go to "this pc" and find your external hit. Hit alt-enter to bring up the properties of the drive. Select the "security" tab, by hitting right arrow from "general" until you hear "security". Click the "advanced" button. Check the owner of the drive. To change it, hit the "change" link Enter your username in the appropriate box. You should be allowed full access. There are a lot of settings you can adjust here, but I don't think you should need to mess with any of them. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: December 7, 2017 12:38 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [JAWS-Users] Administrative rights on External Hard Drive Morning all. I have an external hard drive that I have been trying to save a document onto. However, when I go through the save as features and identify my external, I get a message stating that I do not have administrative rights to this. Can anyone tell me how to correct this problem? I am using Word 13, Windows 10 and JAWS 2018 on a Dell laptop. Thanks in advance.
