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.

    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.
