I would like to be prompted with UAC dialog when saving a new file or saving a modified existing file in a protected location that requires administrator rights.
Steps to Reproduce the Issue
I. New file:
Create a new file
File > Save as...
Navigate to any directory that requires administrator rights to write (e.g. C:\)
Press Save button
II. Modified file:
File > Open
Select a file that is located in a directory that requires administrator rights to write
Modify a file (add some text)
File > Save
Expected Behavior
UAC dialog appears asking for permission to save:
Actual Behavior
I. New file:
It suggest you to save in the documents folder without an option to save as administrator.
II. Modified file:
It tries to launch a program as administrator.
A side effect of that is all new modifications are lost.

There is a plugin that solves this problem NppSaveAsAdmin
However, in version 7.9.3 it stopped working.
In the discussion, it was suggested to incorporate such a functionality into the Notepad++ itself: Hsilgos/nppsaveasadmin#24 (comment)
Also, UAC is supported starting from Windows Vista.: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Account_Control
Starting from version 7.9.3, Notepad++ isn't supported on the Windows XP.
This makes it possible to implement UAC properly.
