[Bug 123470] New: Files cannot be saved/edited in DESKTOP location
(and sub-folders)
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=123470
Bug ID: 123470
Issue Type: DEFECT
Summary: Files cannot be saved/edited in DESKTOP location (and
sub-folders)
Product: General
Version: 4.0.1
Hardware: PC
OS: Windows 7
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: P3
Component: ui
Assignee: issues@openoffice.apache.org
Reporter: bartpabicz@tlen.pl
CC: issues@openoffice.apache.org
Just recently I have started experiencing problems with openoffice documents.
It seems that for some reason OpenOffice doesn't allow me to either properly
edit files that are located on the desktop (C:\users\...\desktop\) as I can
only open a copy or in read-only mode; or save a newly created document to any
desktop location (even subfolders are affected). I'm being told that I have no
permissions to carry out this task and I should contact the administrator. I
have done a lot of searching on open office forums, but were unable to find a
fix to my problem. Let me post some details:
There are no *.lock files present
Folders are not Read-only
There are no restrictions in Properties/Security tab, everything is in "allow"
Files can be freely copied, moved and edited and saved with other,
non-openoffice, applications in the abovementioned folders
I tried using an application which terminates all "handles" connected with
particular folders - there were none present.
I run Windows 7 pc with OpenOffice 4.0.1
I tried resetting user profile, but it made no difference.

Some more details:
I used to be able to freely edit and save OO files on desktop and subfolders,
with no problems.
The message I get when trying to open a document on desktop is that 'The
document has been locked out of editing by unknown user' (that's a rough
translation from Polish).
My main (and only) Windows 7 account name has no special characters. Also,
after creating another account with administrative rights and switching to it I
get exactly the same problem.

I managed to sort the problem out. Comodo Firewall was sandboxing OpenOffice
apps and also had them in Unknonw Applications list. It actually also prevented
me from using the printer as it wasn;t listed in printer list at all.
