Default Why Is My User Folder Read Only?

Specs: Vista, Admin user

Ok so the problem started out with not being able to save a MS Word File anywhere but the Documents folder (C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents)

So then i move the file to the place i want to save it (C:\Users\USERNAME\Schoool\History\CE) but it tells me that I have to have ADMIN privileges, which i have, so i click yes.

But i have never had the problem of moving files in MY OWN DOCUMENTS FOLDER.

SO i go to the users area (C:\Users\) and get the properties of my folder. The little Read-Only Box is checked, i uncheck it, it 'applies' to all folders.

Fixed right, no. I go back to word to save, and yet again it tells me it cant be saved, for reasons of either, disk space, disk error, ect.

So i go back (C:\Users\) and the dang box is checked again.

But heres the kicker. The doucments folder, and some other folders, have that box checked, but allow me to read, write, move to those places with no question.

What the heck is going on?

Ok so i attributed it to the fact that for some reason my privilages for some folders where turned off.
I have fixed that, but what would have caused that?

I am going to do a few scans and get back.
