Hi, Nick.
Michael gave you the right answer. C:\ is a protected area and we can't just go making entries in there by accident.
Only the ROOT of C: has this protection. So, you can create a New folder in C:\ and put your files there. In Windows Explorer, open C:\, right-click and choose New | Folder. Name it something like C:\Nick. Then you should be able to store your file there as something like C:\Nick\Datafile.txt.
If you are the Administrator, then you CAN store a file in C:\ by using an elevated Command Prompt. To do this, click Start, then right-click on Command Prompt and choose Run as Administrator; you'll have to furnish Administrator credentials to get past this point. When the Command Prompt window opens, note that the Title Bar says "Administrator:Command Prompt". Any command or application launched from this window will "run elevated".
From here, you can save a file in C:\.
Note that it is not enough to BE a member of the Administrator group. You must explicitly furnish an Administrator password to open the elevated command prompt window.
