vim not showing correct contents of file

Hi,

I was using gVim on Windows 7 to edit the FileZilla config file fzdefaults.xml:

1. Use Windows Explorer to browse to C:\Program Files\FileZilla FTP Client

2. right-click on fzdefaults.xml, select "edit with Vim" from the context menu

3. change the file

4. write out the change, exiting vim with :wq

5. repeat steps 1 and 2 to verify the change is in the file:  Vim shows the change.

    5.1 edit Vim with :q

6. run Filezilla - it behaves as if the change is not in.

7. repeat steps 1 and 2 to verify: vim shows the change is there

8. run FileZilla - it behaves as if the change is not in

9. look at the file with Notepad - the change is not in the file.

Vim is telling me the file has certain contents, when in fact it does not.  This is a

bug, right?  Also, I noticed at this point that the modify date of the file was still

over a year ago.

Apparently on Windows 7 a program has to be run as administrator to change a file in C:\program files.   I was able to fix the problem by starting Vim as Administrator and then editing the file.
