Notes About Windows NTFS Security

The Program Files Folder is read-only for normal users. Only Administrators have write access to Program Files Folder and its sub-folders. The conversion will fail if you convert directly from the program folders and you do not have write access right to the folder.

Result

·	After conversion, the original file is renamed to _org_htmldemo.htm. The converted file is still htmldemo.htm

·	Double click on htmldemo.htm to view it in Browser. You will find that the content of the file remain the same.

·	Right-Click on the page and select View Source to view the source code of the HTML file.

·	Look at the <HEAD> section. You will find that the original charset meta tag is remarked and a UTF-8 charset meta tag is added.

·	The HTML Character Reference (e.g. §) will be converted to Raw Unicode Character

Note: If you corrupted HtmlDemo.htm file during conversion, you may extract the file from demo.zip archive.
