Windows Vista or Newer Program Files folder

Post by Scott »

In Windows Vista/7 or newer the "Program Files" folder is read only. To edit the PWB configuration (INI) file, copy the INI file to the Desktop, or other location, edit the file as needed, and then copy the file back into the Program Files folder.

More information:

With Windows Vista/7 or newer depending on the location you have installed PWB you may need to open the INI file as an administrator even though you
are logged on as one.

You can also copy the INI file to your Desktop, edit it, then copying the file back to the folder.
