Windows 10: Editing an XML File in Program Files

I am trying to edit an xml file under C:/Program Files/Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center, but it's saying that I don't have admin privileges. The XML file I am trying to edit is the commands file so I can change the zoom key on my microsoft ergonomic keyboard 4000 to scroll. I've tried changing the security permissions in the "Program File Properties," but it won't let me. I've even tried going into the advanced settings with no luck. It sounds like this is quite an issue for a number of people so I have two questions to Microsoft:

1) Why can't I change the security permissions on all files located on MY computer?

2) Why hasn't Microsoft figured out that people would much rather have that button scroll than zoom and updated the software package to work accordingly?


Does someone know how I can make it so I can change the permissions so I can edit that file?

Are my Registry Files all legitimate programs?

Isn't there a web tool whereby I can check if programs listed in my REGISTRY FILES are legitimate programs?

 

Windows 10 - how to open an XML file by default USING the correct M/S program (XLS, DOC or PPT)?

Hi,



Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I can understand, how frustrating it can be, when things don’t work as expected.



I'd be glad to help you.

I suggest you to open XLS, DOC, XML or PPT file formats in the latest Microsoft office application available.

To open the XLS, DOC, XML or PPT file formats in Microsoft office as default program follow these steps below:

• Type Default programs in the search bar on Windows 10.
• Associate a file type or protocol with a program under
  Choose the program that Windows use by default in the Default Program
  Window.
• Select the .xml file type in the Associate a file type or protocol with a program
  Window and click on Ok.
