Editing text files
I am a Flight Sim X fanatic. After installing FSX into Win 7 I tried to edit some of the .cfg files in FSX (notably the aircraft.cfg files) with notepad. However it gives me an "access is denied" message every time I try to save the file. I never had that problem under XP. I have edited other text files with Win 7 notepad no problems were encountered. I might be overlooking a simple answer but if that's the case I'm sorry for asking a stupid question. Any suggestions?

If you have the preview pane turned on in Explorer, turn it off and try saving the file again. I had this problem with Word files, presumably windows is using the file to create the preview and therefore won't let you save over the file. Hope this helps, if not good luck!
