I am still struggling to understand the read only permission issue.
Obviously something in the OS is preventing a change even though I am logged
in as the Administrator. The permission issue is more perplexing because
the other day I tried the suggestion, from Joe I think, to start MMTTY,
select the Default settings and then save them as "Standard RTTY" to cause
MMTTY to create a new USERPARA.INI file. I did this, after making a backup
copy of USERPARA.INI first, and MMTTY did create a new parameter file in
C:\MMTTY. So how did this happen if the MMTTY is a read only folder?
Obviously things are going on in Windows that I am clueless about. As for
changing the Security permissions, as Phil did, why would the message
problem now be intermittent? If permissions are set, they are set. Why
would the problem be solved some days and not others? I think I may just
retreat to the sidelines and put up with the minor annoyance of the error
message until such time as a definitive solution is disseminated.
