Unable to edit netbeans.conf

I am trying to modify 'netbeans.conf' located at following path:

C:\Program Files\NetBeans 8.0.2\etc

When i modify the file; add 

-J-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8

In Notepad, it is not allowing me to save the original file.

In Notepad++, it says 'please echeck if this file is opened in another program'.

Netbeans is installed in path -> C:\Program Files\NetBeans 8.0.2\

How can i modify the file? Is there any issue in privileges?

Close NetBeans, start notepad or another text editor as Administrator (right click on the application and choose "Run as administrator" and then open 'netbeans.conf' with it.
