No access to Program Files in Windows 7


I'm totally new to windows 7 and have just installed Apache server. I want to change httpd file... But when opening file with notepad and saving it, I get a message that I have no rights... My user is a member of Administrators group. What else can I do?

Thanks

P.S. Could you suggest any nice tutorials on dealing with user administration and admin accounts?


Solution

  • You need to take ownership of the folder, which requires a registry hack. (You can search for takeown registry)

    My advice is to install your Apache server outside of "Program Files". You should not have files requiring regular modifications in Program Files.
