Something like this:

Windows is trying to keep you from making a bad mistake.

If you want to delete these kinds of system files you will have to take ownership of the file but curiosity makes me wonder what the issue/problem is that you think deleting the notepad.exe file will resolve but it's your system.

Consider renaming the file instead of deleting it so you have a way to undo the adjustment later if needed - but you will still have to take ownership of the file to do that.

Here's a link that tells you more about TrustedInstaller and how to take ownership of files:
