title: How do I edit conf file when being used by Firebird service?
body: <p>I'm playing around with Firebird and just installed the latest version (2.5) for Windows 7 (64 bit).</p>
  
  <p>I have it running as a service rather than stand-alone application. </p>
  
  <p>I'm wanting to alter aliases.conf and add an alias for a database, but I can't seem to alter the file. (When trying to save in Notepad++, I get a pop-up that says "Please check if this file is opened in another program.") My suspicion is that it's locked due to the Firebird service. </p>
  
  <p>I opened Services from the Windows Task Manager (Services tab, then clicked "Services..." on bottom-right), selected "Firebird Guardian" (which, as I understand, manages the Firebird Services), selected "Stop Service", verified that both services have stopped, but I'm still unable to alter the configuration file. </p>
  
  <p>Recommendations?</p>
  
  <p>Many thanks,
  Jody</p>
