Hello,
Here's my problem with Vista: I want to use codes on Heroes of Might and Magic and I'm told to edit the autoexec.cfg file. So far, so good, but once I modify the file, I can't save it.
I can't overwrite the existing file, and if I change the name, I don't have the permissions to write in the folder.
However, I'm the only one using the computer, it's mine, I should have full power, but apparently not on Vista.
Thanks in advance for your help.

<code>Hi Benzs,
To be able to save your changes in the autoexec.cfg folder you need to:
-go to the folder properties
-click on the "Security" tab
-click on the "Edit" button (to change the permissions)
-in the "Groups or user names" box select "Users" and allow "full control"; the options
"Modify" and "Write" will be checked automatically
-click on "Apply"
There you go, you have full control of the file and you can now modify it as you wish, but be careful because from now on while Vista will let you do what you want, it will no longer ask for confirmation (even if you mess up)

editor = true).
Thank you very much.
