Can't save file to created folder structure

I'm working my way through the book 'Master Your Data'. When opening Power Query I get errors because the author of the book has the files in a different folder. So rather than go through editing (which I not sure how to do) the path in the M code, I created this folder structure. 'C\Users\KenPuls\Excelguru Consulting Inc\Master Your Data Book - General\MYD Examples' and put the books files in the Examples folder. Now I do not get errors when opening Power Query with any of the books files BUT I can't save a completed file to the folder. Says I need Administrator privileges. I am the Administrator. I just opened a file and immediately tried to save it and got a new error msg.  The file is NOT READ ONLY. Aniy suggestions.

Go to 

 

C\Users\KenPuls\Excelguru Consulting Inc\Master Your Data Book - General

 

Right click on 

 

MYD Examples

 

and then change the folder properties to give you unlimited write access to the folder and all items.

 

I put the files back on my flash drive and learned how to edit source files in power pivot.
