Description

Any GC games.

Game ID?

Windows 8.1 pro N x64 and Dolphin 4.0.2 x64 and beyond, when trying to create GC memory card I get the following warning:
Could not write memory card file
Users/xxx/Documents/Dolphin Emulator/GC/MemoryCardA.EUR.raw.
Are you running Dolphin from a CD/DVD, or is the save file maybe write protected?

Under Win 7 everything is fine. Dolphin 3 is also running fine under Win8.1. I tried to import GC save files from Dolphin 3 to 4 and then start Memory card manager, but it failed to recognize SRAM.raw files as valid. Tested so far: Luigi's Mansion, Naruto: clash of ninja, FF:crystal chronicles.

What did you expect to happen instead?

What steps will reproduce the problem?
[Don't assume we have ever played the game and know any level names. Be as
specific as possible.]

latest Dolphin version first.

Does using an older version of Dolphin solve your issue? If yes, which
versions of Dolphin used to work?
Dolphin versions that did not put user files in Windows Documents folder.

System, CPU and GPU)
Windows 8.1 pro N x64, i5-3570k, nVidia 9600gt.
