Use the windows equivalent of sudo:
runas /user:administrator "notepad \privoxy\config.txt"

or fix the permissions:
C:\Privoxy>icacls config.txt
config.txt BUILTIN\Administrators:(I)(F)
           NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(I)(F)
           BUILTIN\Users:(I)(RX)
           NT AUTHORITY\Authenticated Users:(I)(M)

Successfully processed 1 files; Failed processing 0 files

C:\Privoxy>icacls config.txt /grant Lee:F
processed file: config.txt
Successfully processed 1 files; Failed processing 0 files

C:\Privoxy>icacls config.txt
config.txt I3668\Lee:(F)
           BUILTIN\Administrators:(I)(F)
           NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(I)(F)
           BUILTIN\Users:(I)(RX)
           NT AUTHORITY\Authenticated Users:(I)(M)

C:\Privoxy>

or try to point-n-click your way through adjusting the file
permissions in windows explorer.
