I can't play my map?

[Mr.Fuzz]

So when I look at it in "Open Map" it has a lock next to it, and it won't show up when I try to host it... anyone know why?

Could you perhaps show us a screenshot. I would like to see this.

That is not a problem with warcraft 3 but with windows

Take a look here (Darian Knight's post):

And see if that helps.

Yes, you need to set the file permissions so the WarCraft III process has sufficient permissions to read the file.
Additionally, make sure the file path is not too long. WarCraft III will ignore maps with a very long file path. File path is the length of the name of the map and the names of any sub-folders it is in from the Maps folder.
