Which O.S. is in play? Any chance that Windows is protecting you from making changes to files within the C:/Program Files folder?
Asked another way; Is UI-View and its' subordinate programs installed somewhere besides C:/Program Files ??

As of mid-July 2009, the "virtual igate" WXSVR that injected the NWS alerts into the APRS Internet system to make the NWS feature work was shut down. A replacement server, AE5PL-WX, is now providing this service. Shapes and symbols for severe weather WARNINGs should appear on maps just as before. However, using the right-click "finger" function to retrieve the full text of NWS bulletins will require editing the two files UIview32.INI and UINWS.INI located in the main UIview program folder.
Shut down UIview. Locate the string FQDN=WxSvr.net in each file and replace it
with FQDN=wx.aprs-is.net . Restart UIview. Note that the volume of traffic provided by the new server is far, far less than the old one. AE5PL-WX only transmits WARNINGS (servere weather actually in progress) but not the ALERTS and WATCHES sent by the old server. As a result, you will never see the yellow ALERT areas and orange WATCH areas that formerly appeared on UIview maps; only the red WARNING shapes will appear.

For North American users, PMap 9 (Precision Mapping 9.0) along
with PMapServer 9 can provide street level mapping for all of North
America. They can be installed without hassle on Windows 7 & 8.
PMapServer is available for download on the UI-View website.
However, Undertow Software is no longer selling new copies of
PMap 9, but existing owners can continue to use it as long as they
can get it registered.
Users of Windows Vista, 7 or 8 should not install UI-View below
Program Files. Instead, create a folder elsewhere. To view UI-View's
built-in context sensitive help file, download and install WinHlp32.exe.
Useful hints and tips about setting up and using UI-View are
available on Stephen WA8LMF's website.
