Yup, this worked. It is super inconvenient though. First, I'm used
to picking Gvim directly off of a context menu (right click the file,
pick "Edit with Gvim"). Second I have to actually navigate to the
Gvim file on my hard drive to do this. Windows doesn't present "run
as administrator" if I try to use a shortcut. So the quick bar at the
bottom of my screen doesn't work, and neither does the Start menu. It
has to be navigated manually using Explorer. Then after that I have
to manually navigate to the netbeans.conf file again because Gvim
starts up with the default in its own directory, not where I was
looking two minutes ago with Explorer.
Again a simple config file in my users directory that's owned by me
would be a lot more convenient.
That's possible create an etc dir in your netbeans user dir, than add a
writable copy of netbeans.conf there.
Thank you all for the help though, it was sincerely appreciated. Now
my font size is HUGE. :-)

Re: New 12.2 install, can't change netbeans.conf Dear Brenden,
You have to run Wordpad (or whatever editor you're using) as an
administrator. And don't forget to save a copy first!
Best regards,

I've spent a fair amount of time trying to make changes to
nebeans.conf and failing. Windows UAC doesn't seem to like your
configuration file very much. I'd like to see changes to the
installer to specifically permit easier editing of that file, and
maybe a review to identify other files that the user might reasonably
need make changes to.
