I don't have Win7 on my PC, but since WL is installed in the root directory the
Virtual store path is not a problem. Check for your writelog.ini file at
C:Windows. If the file is there check that it is the correct one by making a
small change in some parameter and see if that change is in effect when you
start WL. Or setup a new keyboard shortcut in WL then save configuration and
save the log file. Now check the ini file and see If the new shortcut is shown
in the shortcuts section. If so, this is your active ini file.
