OK! This is a different issue. What you are encountering is called Windows UAC (User Access Control).
Are you running/logged-in as an "Administrator" with elevated privileges, or as a "Standard" user with normal privileges? If you saved the saved the document(s) while logged-in as an Administrator (eg. the Administrator's "My Documents" folder) and try to open it/them when logged-in as a Standard user you will see that Windows system message. If you are not already, try logging in with an Administrator account and save the document(s) to your Windows "Public" folder. From there any user should be able to open and save the files. There are other situations (eg trying to save documents opened directly from email attachments to system privileged folders) when the "Requires Elevation" message will be displayed. Apache OpenOffice cannot and does not attempt to override Windows UAC. For more information about Windows UAC look on the Microsoft website or do an internet search.
