title: How to allow an App.config under Program Files to be editable by a user is Notepad or another editor?
body: <p>I'm having an issue that I have not encountered before where App.configs for Windows Services that are installed under the "Program Files (x86)" directory are locked for editing even when the Windows Services are not running.  I get a message that the file is in use, even when it should not be.  </p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Is this something specific about putting a .config file for a Windows Service under the Program Files directory?  </li>
  <li>How can I allow a user that knows the location of the .config file to edit it in Notepad or another editor without receiving the file is "in use" message.  </li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I have tried the install of the Windows Service on three different machines and ensured the service is not actually started/running.  I'm hoping to gain some knowledge on why this is not working as in the past I have had app.configs editable for .exes that happen to live in a directory.</p>
