Cannot add dotfile for Windows Terminal's defaults.json #4

The file defaults.json is well hidden within the folder WindowsApps; inside Program Files. The issue with this is that WindowsApps is really well protected against any kind of modifications, as the owner of that folder is set to TrustedInstaller, and the rest do not even have permission to view the files.

I have tried modifying the owner of the WindowsApps folder and all of its content to my own user, but I'm not sure I was never able to modify successfully the files that I wanted despite having the correct permissions.

Upon some research I saw that defaults.json is only used to configure the default options for all the new shells that are added to Windows Terminal, such as using an specific font or size.

For now I'm not planning to use that feature, so this won't be fixed.
