[WriteLog] MMTTY Plug-In issue

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

The plug-in is not aware of the Vista/Windows 7 User Account Control 
and the virtual directory structure.  

UAC prevents any user except the "hidden" Administrator account 
from writing to the C:\Windows and C:\Program Files directories. 
If a normal user attempts to write to those directories (which 
the plug-in does when installing) the writes are redirected to 
a virtual directory locates in the user's data area. 

Although it is not recommended by Microsoft, I routinely turn off 
User Account Control and install all of my ham software in a 
separate directory (C:\Ham Programs) to avoid the Microsoft 
"nanny" controls. 

73, 

   ... Joe, W4TV
