SOLVED [WIN7 x64] FC won't save settings
Hi!
FC 2009.02a seems to work fine, but it won't save my settings. Which privileges do I have to grant?

Do you want FC to read the INI file from its install directory? That causes conflicts with User Access Control because Windows wants all INIs to be in the user directory. There may be two INIs, one that is read and a different one that is written to.

Run freecommander as admin and change the option to store the ini file in the users folder:
- Right click Freecommander.exe and select Run As > Administrator.
- Go to EXTRAS > SETTINGS > Start program > Config file
- Change to option "specific for user - Application Data folder"
- Save settings and exit FC.

Just for the record, I was running FC in Win7 today, in someone else's computer. To avoid problems and to keep my personal toolkit segregated, I copied my portable installation off a USB stick into a new directory called "programs2". I made sure the INI permissions were okay, and everything was fine.
OT side note -- no nags when copying files in 7. I liked that.
