descr_strat won't save or overwrite

[VirHibernis]

I finally got this mod working and I just wanted to make a few small adjustments to the descr_strat file but, when I attempt to save and overwrite it a box pops up saying "Access is Denied." I thought that this was because it might have been set on "Read only" but, when I checked, the "Read only" tab was not checked off, so, apparently, it isn't that. This new laptop I'm using has Windows 7 which may be related to this issue. What might be causing this, what can I do to fix this and save/overwrite this file?

Thanks.

short and sweet....go to your program files and right click on your SEGA folder, open the properties, click on the securities tab at the top, click the edit button in the middle, click and highlight your user account in the top box, click the box next to full control under the allow column on the bottom box, click apply tab at the bottom and your done....you will now have permission to do whatever you want inside your SEGA folder

sorry i must also add that my above method is used by me cause i only use my administrator account when im offline...for security reasons of course...so i use this to still have permission to do whatever for certain files...like M2TW and other games i like to mod...

It's probably related to User Account Control (type this into your start menu and hit enter). I have mine set to the lowest (read "off"), and there's a link here to understand the problem:

Another option is to make a copy of the file your trying to edit, make your changes, copy + paste back into the folder under a slightly different name, delete the original, and rename the edited file.

And remember it's always safest to make backup copies of the files you want to edit.
