[WriteLog] Writelog.ini and Win7

[Gary AL9A]

Phil,

I think Win7 behaves the same way as Vista for the writelog.ini file.  The 
OS places it in the Virtual Store path such as:

C:\Users\AL9A\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Windows

This is the ini file you will want to edit.  It probably contains your 
missing address info, etc.  Also you can edit this file without having the 
Access Denied message.  I think the ini file in C:\Windows is placed there 
when WL is first installed, but then the UAC feature kicks in and any 
updates or saves from the WL program itself end up being sent to 
...VirtualStore\Windows.

73,
Gary AL9A
