Win 7 help

Postby JakesF14 » Thu Mar 11, 2010 3:23 am

Maybe someone can help . .  I have the new Win 7, and everytime I work on a CFG file in notepad, and I want to Save As, windows tewll me I cannot save it - does not exist , but when I do a Save-As on anothe location, it works. It is annoying, because everytime I need to copy the CFG then and replace it again. Maybe it gave something to do with permissions?

I understand this problem is caused by a security feature in Vista & Windows 7. Neither OS will normally allow files in the Program Files location to be edited. The best solution might be to install FS to a different location.

Not sure if this will help. http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7security/thread/a3f86105-225c-4ce3-ad73-6e0394184aa7
