edit of CPDEF.FNT and CSDEF.FNT not possible
« on: March 02, 2021, 06:07:59 AM »
Hi
I'm upgrading our windows client to v. 10.5 - and I need to add some user defined values to CPDEF and CSDEF - I have installed the client on my own laptop to test it - and even though I'm local admin I'm not allowed to edit the 2 files located in C:\Program Files\IBM\OnDemand Clients\V10.5\font  - I'm allowed to copy, rename and delete the files - but not edit. I have tried to copy the files to another local folder - not in program files - edit the file and copy it back to the font folder - but I'm not allowed to that either.
Have any of you experienced the same or do you know how to be able to edit those files ?

any suggestions are very welcome...

Br
Helle

In windows 10 C:\program files is a protected area.

To easily edit these files, run the text editor of your choice as administrator. To do this, simply right click on the icon that starts your editor and choose "Run as administrator". You will now be able to edit/save the file.
