        @Alan-Robinsin ,

        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

        1. Exit all instances of Notepad++.
        2. 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
        3. 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.
