Default CFG files

Okay, I've read on here how to get my gramophone working, ( by editing my commands cfg file. But whenever I edit it says I don't have permission. The folder is set with read-only disabled. My user profile says administrator. That's the limit to my knowledge in that area. As exstensive as it is. Any help would be great.

Are you files in the Program folder? If so you need to do an install into another folder so you can edit files.

Ok now when I edit the commands it save it as a different type of file. All the other files are cfg files but I can't save as a cfg file. When I save it as aword doc it makes a second file called commands. I'm almost there. thanks.

Use notepad for editing. Right-click file and select "Open with..." and select Notepad.

If you're creating a new file from scratch and wants to save it as a non-txt file, first select "All files" in notepad's "Save"-box and then type your name.cfg
Otherwise it will save the file as a .txt type.

Hope that helps?

Okay closer now. I open up the commands file with wordpad, problem is when I save as there is no "all files" option. Only various text options. Then it saves a seperate file.
