Error saving XYplorer.ini

Post by GUIguy »

I get this dialog

when I exit XYplorer. This happens on the no-install and also the install versions.

When I click OK, then I get this one:

Obviously, it's permissions, and I can't imagine I'm the only one with this issue. (BTW, I log on as someone in the Admin group and get UACs when I install programs, etc.) I've tried making the data folder not read-only, but it doesn't seem to be successful.

Oh wonderful community, what's the solution? (And someday I'll know enough to be able to help someone else, but for now, I'm a newbie.) :cry: :roll:

I measure a good day by how little I fell behind

Quick, hire a teenager while they still know everything!

Same reason...

http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=15363

That's an UAC protected directory, everything that wants to modifiy contents in it (XYplorer, your text editor, etc.) requires admin permissions...
