Listen, as long as it's on, you can only PRETEND to put files in c:\windows. Look, create another user account on the machine. After you *THINK* you did something, log in as the other user. Look for the same file you thought you edited. See if your change is there. Yes, UAC is a PITA. You are better off using the PHPIniDir directive to set the path of the php.ini file to your apache2.2 conf\ directory. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
