Access Denied eqhost.txt

[Chanus]

You probably need admin permissions on your computer, or you might have it set to read-only for some reason.

(This applies to Windows 7 and Vista, though the How-To might be a little different in Vista)

First, right click on eqhost.txt and choose Properties. At the bottom, there should be a check box that says "Read Only"... make sure it's unchecked.

Next, click on the "Security" tab, choose your login Username and click Edit to change permissions. In the window that pops up, just check all the boxes.

That should do it.

Also, a possibly easier solution is just to move your Everquest directory out of the Program Files directory. You can just cut and paste the entire thing, it won't hurt anything.
