If you read it in the original pdf file you se only the quotation marks. To be honest, I don't know what are normal windspeed settings in those files. You'll have to investigate, try or ask others about it. I just knew where this crashdive of doom bug was described. I never experienced it myself.

Vista checking for account priveleges, and restricting those rights, is a good thing, but for deliberate modding it's a nuisance. Allready being aware of this issue I therefore I installed SH3 and SH3Commander in a seperate folder named c:\games. No problems whatsoever.

You should be able to edit those campaign files when you are logged on into a profile with administrator priveleges. Then Vista just wants you to acknowledge your intent when you open/save the file. If you want to do it when logged on as ordinary user you should start notepad or wordpad with the 'run as administrator' option. Don't modify the properties of the notepad.exe (c:\windows) or wordpad.exe (c:\Program Files\WindowsNT\Accessories). Just rightclick on notepad.exe (for example) and choose 'run as admin' when the context menu shows up. Then locate the campaign files and change and save as neccesary. Then you just have to provide an administrator password.
