  1. Unable to edit file


    I am trying to trim a clip recorded to my secondary SSD but I don't have permission to edit it? This is my personal pc and I'm not sure why it says that as I am the only person that uses it and there are no other accounts. Thank you! please ask anything if required. This was recorded with Geforce experience.

    :)

  2. Unable to edit Hosts file

    Hi,

    We would like to ask how are you trying to edit the host file on your computer? Is there any chance that you are doing it via Notepad as administrator? If not, you can try doing the steps below:

    • Press the Windows key and search for Notepad.
    • Once Notepad is available, right-click and select Run as administrator.
    • In your Notepad, Click File > Open
      and search for the following file: c:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts
    • You can edit the changes as normal
    • Click File > Save to save your changes.

    Let us know how it goes.

  3. Edit metadata autocomplete list for pictures/music files

    I cannot find a way to delete/edit the autocomplete list displayed when editing the metadata on pictures. I get a list of previous entries (some of which are just plain junk) and would like to delete those as suggestions. I tried the steps with the following
    link and did not have any success. I do not have a AUTOCOMPLETE listing under "Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer".

    The locked thread for a similar question under Windows Vista:
