[WriteLog] Writelog.ini issues in version 11.22G

[Gary AL9A]

Humm, do you have UAC turned on?  I've always understood that with UAC 
turned on Windows would default to the Virtual store path for program relate 
files.

Gary,

Actually, my WL is installed in C:\Program Files (x86)v-vI have the 64
bit version of Win 8.1. However, it is using the writelog.ini file in
C:Windows. That's the one that gets updated when I make changes, and WL
works fine for me.

Yes, that's the point I was making about Alan's AutoSaveCount. If he has
more than one writelog.ini file on his computer, it would be a good idea
for him to see which one is being used and correct that one. Or, if he
isn't certain, make the correction to all writelog.ini files on his
computer.

73,

Jim
