Hi Asishanipatekar,

IT is not my speciality but I think that the file has somehow become a read only one, try saving it another a different name..

I suspect either a running application has applied a lock to the file or for some reason you don't have permissions to perform a certain task with the file. Can you give more details such as the type of file, the application you had opened it with and are you logged on with true administrator privileges?

run your program in administrative mode, or turn off UAV . It bugs the living crap out of me when I'm trying to change some code in IIS or the hosts file and this pops up.
