Unless you have administrator privileges, you can not alter the contents of
the Windows folder. Vista is supposed to work that way, it safeguards the
operating system.

Programs are not supposed to be installed in any Windows folders. Install
your text editor in a C:\Program Files subfolder instead.

If you like it to swap Notepad for Notepad++ in the user interface, simply
replace the Notepad start menu shortcut with a Notepad++ one. Notepad++'s
installer will do all this for you, except for deleting the Notepad start
menu entry.
