Windows 7 PRO - HeidiSQL does not have permissions to save anywhere but the desktop

Well....This is maybe a Windows related issue but i have done a research on different solutions and i am unable to fix this. I am the administrator of the PC. First i tried to change owner to the mydocuments folder, then i did the same to the HeidiSQL folder. Granted 'full control', disabled the UAC and nothing works. Used 'Administrators', 'User' groups.

HeidiSQL is only able to save into the desktop. I also tried saving directly on C: and it does not allow either. I have tried with other apps and it saves everywhere, but HeidiSQL is not just doing it.

Any suggestions?

In Taks Manager, what user does HeidiSQL run as? Do you have an over-zealous antivirus?

(It's probably not a good idea to mangle with the permissions of standard folders anyway.)

kalvaro....Thanks! It happened to be the Antivirus blocking me. However it never gave any warning.

PROBLEM SOLVED!
