Although Dreamweaver “reveals” and demonstrates this, I think that it’s a deep-seated Vista permissions issue.
Try to save file in Dreamweaver CS3 and it throws error “ACCESS TO D:\WEBMASTER\SANDBOX\MFCxxxx.TMP WAS DENIED”.
The “xxxx” portion of filename changes with each file eaten. SAVE AS allows saving file. The original file then disappears from the explorer window and isn’t in the recycle bin or anywhere else…it’s gone.
Using Vista 64.
It’s random and occurs on files I create from scratch and files I receive from others.
Once it happens, can’t overcome it.
Full permissions for every single user and group on my PC doesn’t work.
“Take ownership” by my account or Administrator or Administrators or System or Everyone or Authenticated Users doesn’t work.
UAC deactivation doesn’t work.
Command prompt to unset attributes (like read-only) says it ISN’T read-only, but the right-click properties show that it is.
Only this works so far.
Activate Vista’s Administrator account (be sure to then set a password for it).
Log in as Administrator, and the issue no longer occurs.

I’m open and hopeful for a better solution, but for now I’ve got work to do, so I’m using Dreamweaver logged in as Administrator.
Any suggestions?
