In their infinite wisdom Microsoft has added some 'features" in the =
later versions of windows under the general heading of "User Account =
Control". These new capabilities can and will modify the  way Winsdr and =
probably Winquake operate in the system. Specifically windows will =
modify the channel .ini files and the winsdr.ini files to "redirect'  =
the data files to a location  deeply buried in a user  folder.  If you =
are like me, I like those files in the same directory as the program.=20

This link is an excellent summary of the problem and how to deal with =
it.=20

This is not a fault in Larry's software , just the way the newer Windows =
deal with data files in the context of multi user systems=20

I am definitely NOT a software guru so this would be a good time for =
those who are more knowledgeable than I to add information on this =
subject=20
