1. Click the Windows 'Start' button and enter the folder location of the Excel file in the search text box. For instance, if the file is located in 'C:\myfolder,' enter this value into the text box and press 'Enter.' This opens an Explorer window that displays the folder contents.
2. Right-click the folder that contains your Excel spreadsheet and select 'Properties.' A window opens that displays several options for your folder.
3. Remove the check mark in the box labeled 'Read-Only.' This allows you to save your converted files to the folder and stops errors such as 'Access Denied.'
