Fix for Adobe Shockwave Flash suggests to add 'protect=0' as administrator. Denies change, why?
In an attempt to fix Adobe Shockwave Flash a solution suggests to add 'protection=0'. However, once populated the change is denied citing no permission, must be logged on as an Administrator. Thing is, I am signed on as an Administrator. What gives? Am I required to go in and expand the Administrator's powers somehow? If so, how?

- Right-click the shortcut for Notepad and choose Run as Administrator.
- Open the File menu and choose Open. Paste the path to the configuration file into the filename box and press Enter:
- 32-bit Windows: C:\windows\system32\macromed\flash\mms.cfg
- 64-bit Windows: C:\windows\syswow64\macromed\flash\mms.cfg
Note that it's not recommended to disable Protected Mode except as a last resort.
