Unable to Edit Files on Windows 10

In some cases, you may want to manually edit files in your C:/Jaspersoft directory during or after installation. For security reasons, Windows 10 doesn't allow normal processes to change files in many folders including the Program Files folder, for instance. When you attempt to edit these files, you may see an error like this:

You don’t have permission to save in this location. Contact the administrator to obtain permission.

You can edit these files by running as administrator. For example, to edit these files with Notepad on Windows 10:

Click Start and find the Notepad application. Right-click Notepad, and click Run as administrator.
