No longer can save files by overwriting an existing file with same name

I copied this person's problem noted below as none fo the solutions they mentioned for DSKi135 asked in 2013.

I never had this problem prior to a few months ago in late 2017 or early 2018.

Would it have to do with the file attributes settings or that I indexed files?

When I:

Open a folder.

Double click a file (file opens with the associated software, I.e. PDF, Word, etc).

Edit/Modify the file.

Try to save (writeover the exisiting file).



I always get a message the file already exisits and that I should save it to another folder and/or save it as a differnt name. This does not pass the logic test. I should be able to save an existing file (overwrite) on any file regardless whether the file is located in a folder thyat may or may not be open.



This is a major pain and there must be a solution to resolve this.

My questions in addtion to problem noted above are:

Running Windows 7 with MS Office 2010 ( I see that if I click on the MS Office yellow folder and look under properties it shows read only. I uncheck the MS Office folder but problem still occurred. Plus when I went by the MS Office Folder still had the read only checked even though if had unchecked it and hit apply. Tried many times to uncheck the "read only" option for the yellow MS Office Folder and every time I went back it the MS Office folder was checked read-only even when I had hit apply to remove the read only option.


The only thing I have done recently in the past is file indexing. Would that cause this problem?

For this to suddenly start happening after handling files in the same way for years, I wonder if MS made a change/update that brought this on.

So I now have to save the new file with the added data with a new name and then, delete the original file and then change the newest file to the name of the file I just deleted. This is very aggravating.


File is NOT marked as read-only

File Attributes have checked "File is Ready for Archiving" and "Allow this File to have contents indexed in addition to File Properties"

Compress of Encrypt Attributes has nothing checked


Securtiy File Tab has all checked as Allow except Sprecial Permissions has nothing checked

Advanced under security tab allows to all (System, admin and other user) blocks and Full Control allowed for the three drives System,
