Hi,
I designed my own directory structure in windows xp and used it as a template for software and file management on vista. (seems to have been a big mistake)
Currently i have all my games installed just on a Games folder, created by me in the Program-Files folder.
Steam needs to write its own config file for any edits i make, However when trying to do this is just reverts back to prior settings. (As with other games)
I tried removing the read-only flag from the attributes looked like it had done, closed and re-opened window and sure enough its back again.
NB : im logged onto a user account, set in Administrators Group, created by myself.
I then tried Security > Advanced > Owner > Edit to change from SYSTEM to Jamie (my username)
After that, i also went to Security > Edit (To Change Permissions) > Add - Added Jamie as a user and set to full control.
However still i cannot change from Read-only for all subfolders also.
So to save me the hassle, as i never seem to get malicious software anyway... how do i disable this whole, lets be safe and wear a condom crap that microsoft have put into this somewhat good but REALLY annoyingwhenitdoesntwork operating system.)
Im Running Windows Vista Ultimate x64.
UAC is Disabled and location of folder to be changed is C:\Games <-- Of which i am Owner
Thanks.
Jamie
