What's your question? Do you want to read your data into matlab (without the header) or do you want to delete the first line from the file and re-save it?

fmt = repmat('%f',1,6);
fid = fopen('YourFileName.txt', 'rt');
datacell = textscan(fid, fmt, 'Delimiter', ',', 'HeaderLines', 1, 'CollectOutput', 1);
fclose(fid);
TheData = datacell{1};
clear datacell

You cannot write to any directory under "C:\Program Files (x86)" because MS Windows will not allow that. You need to cd to a different directory and work there.
