Having problems generating a keystore (Java)

Question

I am trying to publish my first Android application, and therefore need to sign the app with a keystore.

At first everything goes well. I type the following into the command prompt:

keytool –genkey –v –keystore testKeystore.keystore –alias testKeystore –keyalg RSA –validity 10000

I answer the several questions that follow, but after the last question, I get the following error

keytool error: java.io.FileNotFoundException: testKeystore.keystore [Access is denied]

Maybe I am doing some silly mistake, but I have followed several guides on the internet on how to make a keystore, and I thought that was all there was to it?

If you're using Eclipse, you can create a new keystore in the export wizard. Double click on your android manifiest file, then select the 'Use the Export Wizard' link.
