access to CUSTOM.dic denied

Question

All of a sudden I was not able to open files within Studio anymore. Whenever I tried to open a file something strange happened: The file opened, then an error message appeared, and then the file closed again. Here is the error message: 
 Access to the path &lsquo;C:\Users\my name\AppData\Roaming\SDL\SpellChecker\CUSTOM.dic&rsquo; is denied 
 The only way out of this problem that I found, was to uncheck CUSTOM.dic under Options > Editor > Spelling > Custom Dictionaries. Now I can open files again, but I don&rsquo;t think that it is normal for Studio to behave this way. What is wrong here?

Hi Ulrich, 
 
This sounds like a permissions issue to me. Did you install Studio as admin? can you try running Studio as admin (right-click and choose to run as admin). Note that being the admin on your machine is not the same as running as admin or installing as admin. 
 
Also, what version of Studio are we talking about?

Hi Ulrich, It might have been caused by a windows update that changed your permissions... computers!! Regards Paul
