Read the post - I said to "move it to its own folder" for the reason of it not letting you to edit it if you don't.
Learn to read (and follow) directions first before you criticize. I don't see you posting this and
didn't see you posting this the last time i asked if this was possible a few weeks ago nor when
others did in threads from a few years back, All I'm trying to do is give back to the community, I'm not sure if I'm the first
to ever figure this out or not nor does that really matter to me ; what matters to me is that now you can google or search
this information -for sure- and it -will- come up for future generations of eqemu worldbuilders, I certainly never
found it (although I'm not perfect) after many months - so here it is & theres no doubt in my mind this works - I've tested it with Eqemu 0.8.0.

[ie: see quote below, its from the post above:]

you edit it if its still in the directory)

btw, check out some of my custom zones [all are each a work in progress
and none are done as of yet], I am going to use the information about skies posted above add skies to these or any of my newer zones to my hearts content.]

He's referring to the NTFS permissions on the file where it resides. You have to edit the permissions on the file itself in order to edit it.

Ahhhhh - I didn't know [but now I do], Thanks. =)

How would I approach that? Just right click the file directly?

When your client is located underneath Program Files, typically it inherits permissions on Program Files which is usually pretty restricted to modifying anything, if at all read rights.

Yes you right click the file and go to Security, in there you can click 'Edit...' and modify your NTFS permissions from there.
