I am trying to edit a .CFG
file in Notepad++. When I try to save it, it shows an error:
Check if file is open in another program.
Previously, I have had no problem editing the configuration files or with saving my changes. To fix this problem, I have tried closing all other open windows, restarting Notepad++, and restarting my computer. Unfortunately, none of this allowes me to edit the file.
Mine was Zone Alarm locking the hosts file, one of it's advanced settings. See here: https://superuser.com/a/1104284/145568

See if you can copy the file elsewhere, edit, then overwrite the original. If not, use Process Explorer or a program similar to Unlocker to figure out what's locked the file.
