PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied:

Question

I'm trying to write in a txt file the vertices of a spline mesh, but I get this error: PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'C\:Windows\system32\vt_84.txt

The code is

`C\:Windows\system32\vt_84.txt` - something's definitively is wrong with this path, dont you think? — Łukasz Rogalski, May 07 '15 at 06:53
`C:\Windows\system32` is a protected system folder. Try putting your file somewhere else, like `C:\Users\your_user_name\Desktop`. — martineau, May 07 '15 at 07:33

Try at a different location. Since you are trying to edit a file kept at C:Windows\system32 location, you are getting this error.

also, check your path. It should be like C:\Windows\system32\vt_84.txt

If it's an existing file, make sure that it isn't open anywhere
