Can't Save Settings - "Access Denied"

Post by skimmel »

New to xyplorer and tried to find answer online with no luck. When I try to save settings, I get:

Save Settings Failed

Access is denied.

D:\Users\XXXXX (XXSXX is actually the file path, I am just redacting it)

I can access that file path no problem and use it. I just can't save settings. I am running as administrator.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Menu - Go - Go to Application Data Folder

Post the full path after using that menu entry...

Exit XYplorer
Download the attachment and extract it
Put the Startup.ini file from the archive into C:\Program Files (x86)\XYplorer
Start XYplorer

Can you now save your settings?

Put this into XYplorers address bar and execute it with the {ENTER} key
text <xy> . <crlf 2> . <xydata> . <crlf 2> . readfile("<xypath>\Startup.ini");

Show the output

Hi, I was about to try this but I ended up uninstalling and re-installing program and that worked. Thanks.
