Can't use saved files recently?

Every program I use has started this ridiculous thing with saving files. When I am done with a project in, say, Photoshop or Apophysis, I save the file how I want, where I want. Then I go to open it, but it isn't there. I go back into Photoshop or Apophysis and I can open it through that program, as if I was editing it, but the icon has a little gold lock on it. How do I fix this? I just want to be able to show off my cool fractals!!! >:-[

    This could be due to the ridiculous windows security settings. Are you saving them in a folder in program files? Try saving them in my documents or the deskop and see what happens.

    You can select "save as" after you open it so that you don't lose your work.
