        @Kouamé-Guy-Michel-KOBENAN ,

        If you are editing a file that you do not have write permission for (file or folder), that’s what it will tell you when you try to save. If you run Notepad++ in Administrator mode, you will usually get write-permission for that file.

        Your choices are to somehow get write permission for the file (run in admin mode, or externally change the permission before editing), or do a SaveAs to a location you do have write access to.

        There might be more things that can help, but you didn’t give us enough info to go on – (see FAQ).

          To be candid, I very infrequently get that message on a file save. I just cancel the box and attempt to save again, and I haven’t had that not save the file, on that second try.
