In XVI32, why is 'File access denied' still after selecting 'Run as Administrator'?

Question

This question concerns and follows the advice here about scaling on Internet Explorer. I right-clicked on XVI32 to Run as Administrator, then opened XVI32 and effected the steps. The narrow green arrow indicates the start of the Overwriting. But then when I clicked 'save', the following error message appeared:

That's probably because iexplore.exe is owned by TrustedInstaller (NT Service\TrustedInstaller). You may have to take ownership of the file first (and backup the file) before modifying.

After editing, change the ownership back to NT Service\TrustedInstaller

Thanks to this answer, I Googled myself how to 'Take Ownership' and found this.

But the solution was simply to Right-Click the .exe file, then access the Security tab, and then to allow Permissions for Everyone by using To change permissions, click Edit.
