Default

Program Files is a protected directory. Since the game wasn't running with admin rights previously, it's unable to write changes to that directory (such as when you change your UI or hotbuttons) so it uses a directory it does have access to - which is usually in C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\Sony\EverQuest\ (I copied this location from https://wiki.project1999.com/Logfiles as I didn't install it to Program Files so I don't have the directory structure available). When you changed it to use Admin rights, it's suddenly able to access those files in the default location, so it uses them instead of the alternate copies it created previously. You can search for them or just hit start and just type %appdata% and press enter and it will open the directory, and then copy them over to your "actual" game folder.

To avoid issues like this - don't install to the default location in program files. Use something like C:\games\EverQuest.

From the Getting Started ( https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...ead.php?t=2651 ) guide:

Install Everquest Titanium to a fresh directory. This directory must be separate from any live Everquest installs and dedicated to Project 1999. Some users have experienced trouble installing Titanium to their Program Files directory with Windows Vista/7/8, so an alternate path should be specified (Example: C:\EQEmu).
