Re: save as error

Hello shayray,

Where is the file that you are trying to edit located? If it is in a
protected location, such as the Windows folder or Program Files folder, then
it may be that your user account does not have permission to save there.

If you run Notepad as Administrator (right-click on Notepad.exe, select Run
as Administrator), are you then able to save the changes? If not, then you
might have to take ownership of the file before you can edit it.
