Copy the .cfg to the desktop, rename .cfg in aircraft folder as a backup, open the desktop copy and edit, close/save, copy-paste back into the aircraft folder.

(Edit:  This is done in Notepad.)

I know what you are talking about it did it to me for a while, real easy fix:
Before you start edited any thing on a particular plane:, right click the Aircraft Folder, go to  properties, then the security tab, edit, then click on user from the list, and click to first 2 unchecked boxes, and save.

Once you do it once it, only takes like 2min the next time. It is a way to keep people from messing with important files, but in FS you mess with them a lot so it just slows you down. Do it for all the planes in the folder and you should never have to worry about that again.

rule of thumb: NEVER install anything to the C drive's program files folder...
