How do I allow permissions to change config files

Hello,

I'm trying to change a config file for Aliens Vs. Predator 2, but everytime I try to save the changes, it tells me to contact an administrator. Except that there is no administrator. This is my computer and I never told windows 8 to ask for permissions. Can somebody tell me where I go to change this nonsense?

 

Yep, a lot of files in Program Files are locked out. You need to move it somewhere else, desktop for instance, and edit it there before moving it back.

 

Thank-you SO much! Now I can rock-out AvP2 with the Master Server Patch!!!!!

 

Let this be a installation lesson when installing Games make a separate folder from the Program Files so that you can edit or do Mods to the files needed without needing the Computer Admin to do so. This is what it says when it told you that yes your the owner but if you unhide the real Admin there is a Admin Computer Super user account beyond yours that is what it is asking when it told you that. I found this out trying to figure out why I couldn't update certain files and if I turn this account on I could to the update the Owner/Admin wasn't able to do.
