"ProtectSection" cannot save the file

Hi,

I have a problem where after protecting the "connectionStrings" section of
the web.config file and then saving the encrypted version I am getting
"Access to the path C:*******\web.config is denied" - This is both local IIS
(Windows 2003) and hosting site.

Any clues as how I can save the file?

well - the application needs the write (and create new files) permission
for the application directory.

I don't that at all - consider encrypting the string using the command line
tool with an admin account...

Thanx for the information but I do not have access to the command line tools
otherwise I would have taken that route - I will find another way of doing
what I need.
