To actually explain what is happening to you in the way that i understand it is that When you install EQ to your program files folder it takes certain files(eqclient.ini and few others) and puts them in a hidden windows folder in the appdata folder or something like that and it doesnt allow you to change certain things with these files while they are in the windows folder. So by installing/moving EQ to just say your Root C drive folder it creates all the files in the same place so the game can read and edit it at its discretion. I've always installed EQ outside of program files folder so i have never personally had this issue or had to fix it. I'm just going by the collective knowledge of the issue i have seen over the years.
