Administrator Mode
-
I have a File i wish to edit:
C:\Program Files\Aspire 10.5\Lua\ zzCNCWoodCarving.lua
However Notepad will not let me Save it!
How do I open a file in Administrator Mode? -
In general, to edit a file in administrator mode, the Notepad++ application has to be run in administrator mode. That is accomplished the same as any other Windows application, and is not unique to Notepad++.
An example sequence that worked for me
- Exit all instances of Notepad++.
- Run one instance as administrator (you may have to browse to the notepad++.exe and right click, run as administrator).
- it should say
[Administrator]at the end of the window title
- it should say
- File > Open, and browse to the file you want to edit. You should be able to save, if it was really an administrator-mode issue.
