It will vary from machine to machine depending upon how you installed it,
but the path name should be similar to mine...
C:\Users\AL9A\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Windows will have the writelog.ini
file
Please be aware that the AppData folder default is that it is a hidden file,
at least it is on Vista. You will need to go into Windows 7 Control Panel
and find the Folder Options section and set it to display Hidden Files.
That way you will be able to navigate to the location using Windows Explorer
rather than having to type in the path name each time.

Hal,
You can copy and paste your old ini file into the Virtual Store location.
You may have to be logged on as administrator to do it. Just rename the ini
WL created for you in the Virtual Store path to something different. I have
multiple ini files in my Virtual Store location, writelogcw.ini,
writelogssb,.ini, writelogrtty.ini, etc. Each ini file has slightly
different configurations for the way I prefer to run a particular mode.
When its time to setup a new contest log I just rename one of the various
ini files to writelog.ini and then run that one for the contest. After the
contest I just rename it again so I can tell which mode it is for.
Instead of using the Edit Writelog.ini utility in the WriteLog Programs
group I just created a desktop shortcut icon that takes me directly to the
Virtual Store directory where I can select and modify any of the various ini
files I have. I also created another desktop shortcut to take me directly
to writelog.ini. That way I can quickly edit something if needed in the
current ini version that is set to run. Of course, if you have WL running
when you make a ini file change you will have to exit and restart for it to
take effect.

Thanks Don - I think that's what I will do. It will be labor intensive
however. What I want to do is drop a WRITELOG.INI from my old computer
into my new computer, and I'm not sure I can get to that protected path.
However, I may be able to open up "edit" and cut and paste it in.

I'm no an expert on this, but I think Wayne's recommendation is to
leave writelog.ini where it is and to use "Edit WriteLog.ini" from the
WriteLog programs group to edit the file. That's what I do.
On Windows 8, if you type in WriteLog, it brings up the groups of
WriteLog programs and "Edit WriteLog.ini" is available from there.
Should be similar with Windows 7.

Just bringing up a new WIN 7 computer - my first adventure past
XP. WL
has put writelog.ini is a place called "virtual store." How can I get
rid of that one and create a writelog.ini somewhere else where I can
find it and work with it easily, and have the WL program find it.
BTW, I forced the install to put WL into C:\Ham instead of the X(32)
program area.... I'm trying to avoid protected paths....
Thanks
