.cue file is not editable - any idea how to solve this?

Hello everyone, I lately downloaded a CD and inside the folder there are "CDImage.ape", "CDImage.cue" & "CDImage.txt" files.
I am trying to split the ape file in single tracks by using foobar2000, but when I drag the cue file there, the last track doesn't display the length but it shows a ? instead.
Every time I encounter something like this, I go and edit .cue file, just by renaming the extension of the file so it can properly read.
In this case, the line that I want to edit is:

FILE "CDImage.wav" WAVE

and wanna change it to FILE "CDImage.ape" WAVE, since this is the file in the same folder. I don't know why, but when I open the .cue file with Notepadd++, I am unable to update/edit this extension.
This is the very first time I came across something like that & I don't understand what I am doing wrong.

Any help would be appreciated & forgive me if this is not posted on the correct section, but I posted here since I am using foobar as a splitter.

Right-click on the CUE file, select "Properties", and confirm it is not set "Read-only".

Thank you :) This was the reason. I don't know how I missed it.
Thanks a lot! :D
