Any help is much appreciated

Did you launch the Notepad as a administrator?

I am on an admin account with full rights. Should I still be launching Notepad as an admin ?

Yes, launch the notepad as admin.

Did launch notepad as admin but could not view win firewall log files
Did copy and paste on the desktop (log files). From notepad (as admin), open the log files. I can now view the logs.
Very cumbersome. Is it normal behavior ?
