sjames853:
When creating a console app after naming the file i receive an error saying couldn't save file maybe the file is write protected?  i dont know how to get if off write protection so any feedback is appreciated.

Without any information about your system, no meaningful answer can be given.

Nevertheless in most cases it's a problem that only can be dealt with by your OS and not by C::B.
So make sure you have write permissions for the folder you want to create the file in and no antivirus (or whatever) protection software prohibits creating/saving files there.

But teaching basics of how you can change file-attributes or directory attributes in different OSes, or how to setup "security"-software is not the purpose of this forum/website.
