Many of the folders on C are "super protected" - I think virtually
everything in program files, and you simply cannot save over a file no
matter what. I have had to save to the desktop, then drag and drop over the
file to replace it. It is frustrating, I can see protecting the windows
folders but I don't see why I have to jump through hoops just because I am
making a change to an applications folder.
