OK, This is even stranger. When I use the UNC, I don't even see all my files

Can you try hitting F5 on the UNC accessed foler? Any change?
ASKER
No change
Just to make absolutely sure we're hitting the same folder can you use this UNC instead of what is in the screenshot?
\\Optiplex\C$\inetpub\wwwr
\\Optiplex\C$\inetpub\wwwr

OK, no idea how, but that listed the files equally.
Still Access deenied.

One more test please. Right-click notepad > Run as administrator. Then go to the file in question and try to open it, modify and save it. Does it work?
ASKER
Opening the file through Notepad as an admin, then modifying it works.
Using File Explorer does not.
How come?

When I set this PC 10 years back, I chose "Nataliia & aleks" as the main Admin, then I changed it to APoposki, and now I get...

Do you get Accress Denied when you save the file or when you open it?
Try Unlocker.
It's the most popular file unlocking software out there.
This tip applies to ALL software that you may ever install ...
Take your time installing, so you don't install unwanted toolbars etc.
Don't blindly click YES/OK/Standard Installation - Read before you click!

@Eirman,
You're on the wrong track. Unlocker will do nothing to solve an access denied message. The file is not "Locked" - This is clearly a permissions issue and Yves has already proven that.
