That problem you speak about @yamandays was actually a problem with many type files in Windows 7 years ago when 7 first was released. A person would try to alter or rename a file or whatever and the OS would tell you, you didn't have permission. (Even if you were the adminstartor). MS thought people shouldn't be messing with any files. I don't remember how I fixed my OS to allow me to change, and or open or get permission to rename files or alter them etc. since it was years ago.
Also, from my understanding this is also a problem returned to Windows 10. You might have to google how to fix this since it's your machine and MS shouldn't be assuming people shouldn't have control of files such as the one you spoke about.
But I did fix this in my machine years ago (the MS denied permission flaw). Try to google how to fix file that denies you permission then after you fix that for the OS then you can figure out how to change your Config file inside the program files. Which is still the same as it always was fifteen years ago. If you get stuck I may be back over the weekend but don't have much time today. sorry.
ETA: This is for Windows 7, (ownership of files) you will have to find the instructions for Windows 10 sorry out of time today.
