Try this: https://superuser.com/a/1726367

Notes:

  • I haven't tried it myself
  • (step 6) In Mint, instead of using the terminal, open that directory normally in the file manager, then right-click on an empty part of the directory and choose "open as root". Both the file manager and the default text editor after you've opened the file will show red banners reminding you that they are running as root.
  • (steps 3-4) I hope you are at least a little familiar with the registry editor on windows, otherwise these steps might be hard to follow
