By default, a text editor in Windows will not even open the file for you to edit if you do not have the privilege already.
This is simply not true. Try it. I just did! File opens in notepad but when you save, you get an error. It does allow you to open the file without write permission because you have the option of saving it to a location where you do have permissions. Just like Linux ๐
Ok, checked it and you're right, contrary to what I read. It does suggest in the error on Windows to save it to your documents instead at least.
