What's the use of assigning administrator rights to users if they are not used? Anyway, you solved my problem. Explicitly asking to run as administrator allows me to change the file. It is a bit like confirming that I am still alive before editing the file. Some form of technology progress, I assume, but not a progress of human logic...The 'workaround' would be for the installer to set up the shortcuts as 'requiresadministrator privilege' - no password, no notepad. But that's really a hack. Instead I'm just looking towards moving volatile, configuration things out of c:/Program Files/ into - well that's where I'm stuck. There's no /etc/ or /var/ on win32 ;-) --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.

Wialliam,Why not install Apache and other web serving stuff into a non-protected directory like c:\usr\local\apache
You can customize your installation locations.C:\Program Files is protected by the OS.
