Win 8: Why can't I save httpd-vhosts.conf?

I am trying to update two files so I can run a site locally.
This is one of them. I cannot open it as Administrator, though I am an administrator anyway.
On Win7 I could save them easily. On there it says:
Error saving "C:\xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf"
Access is denied.
Why is this?

Problem solved. I just made new files, renamed the old ones (after an admin request on my machine), and then saved them without any problem.

Odd tho!
