Read-only problem with windows xp

Hey, I'm running through the first tutorial on the TDN and I'm encountering a read-only problem on XP when trying to save a new mission (the first step in the tutorial).
I've reset permissions, set C:/torque to be shared, granted full control access for all users, but I'm still encountering the read-only error.
When I check the directory (c:\torque\tgea_1_7_1\GameExamples\Stronghold\game\scriptsAndAssets\data\missions) there are two new .ml files created, but not my mission with its new name.
The error I receive is: "Mission file 'C:/..../missions/newMissionName' is read-only".
Any thoughts?

Weird error but to get around it was easy. Click the Save as type drop down and select All Files (*.*) instead of the default of Torque Mission Files (*.mis) Hope this helps.

Hi, yes, that almost worked, thanks! I switched the type option to All Files (*.*) but then had to give my filename an explicit .mis extension. Then it saved the file without error.
