[WriteLog] WriteLog ini file location -- Vista File Location now inK9JY Site

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

Scott, 

Note that Vista does not allow users to WRITE to any file in the 
C:\Program Files\ tree.  Vista will virtualize any user file in 
the C:\Program Files\ tree into the "<username>\APPDATA" tree. 

I have installed all of my amateur software on a separate hard drive 
which avoids the issues with Vista's virtualization but Vista users 
will need to be aware of the potential problem of files not being 
written as expected.   

73, 

   ... Joe, W4TV
