That should be "not even when you are administrator and run it", excuse the wrong wording, please.
You can of course right-click/run as administrator, but then you can't open the file directly but first need to "File|open" and navigate to it, which to me is more complicated than just saving elsewhere and copying later. You can of course also change registry so that Notepad always runs as administrator, but that simply defeats an otherwise useful security feature. > On Fri, 31 May 2013 12:10:27 +0200, André Knappstein > <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> It is probably good to know that Notepad.exe does never have the >> permission to write into a protected directory, not even when it is >> run as administrator. >> > Since when?
