This probably isn't relevant, but Desktop is actually a folder under c:.
On my computer, it's C:\Users\MAMarcus. I see that 'other Matt' concurs
with this and seems to be suggesting that your username may have
non-ASCII characters. I'm guessing Korean. Try making a new folder
under C:\ with only ASCII characters in the name.

Dear Matthew,
I tried to save a project to "Desktop" which had no parent folder, but
the same problem occurred. I think the non-ASCII character is not the
only problem.
Still, I can save onto a usb from now on. Thank you very much.
Best,
Shinhyo

Hi Shinhyo,
Again, I would ask to check that the folder you are having trouble
saving to has any non-ASCII characters. For sure, ifeffit and demeter
are not going to be able to handle folder or file names with non-ASCII
characters.
Larch is slightly better at this - it can work with files with names in
non-ASCII text encodings. To be clear, the situation with Larch is
still not ideal, especially on Windows, because
a) the base installation folder can contain only ASCII characters,
and cannot contain any spaces (apparently this is some problem
with other libraries or possibly some other variation on point b).
b) the concept of "localization" on Windows machines is sort of a
mess and many libraries (at least, from Python) don't handle this very
well. For Larch, we recently had to explicitly set locale to be "simple
C / ASCII". That sort (or should!?) mean that you can read/write files
and folders with non-ASCII characters, though I'm not certain that will
work for all character encoding sets. It's possible this will get
better with time, but it's not something that we can solve.
For ifeffit / demeter there is simply no hope for non-ASCII text to ever
be handled.

There are other characters that Windoze doesn't like in filenames:
|\/*":<>?
