can't change desc_strat.txt in Vista

[harkonen]

Hi guys!

I just got a new computer.. i installed MTW2 and i opened the desc_strat.txt file to make all factions playable... but Vista can't find the file (???????) when i'm about to save it. WTF ??
Anyone else got this problem?

Maybe there's an exe file somewhere that does all the work.. ?

It'll be a UAC issue

Opening the file, copying what you want out, making the changes in a new file in notepad, saving that as descr_strat.txt elsewhere and finally copying it back in, overwriting the old file, should do the trick

Oh my god. Is that what Vista is like all the time? I was helping a friend put M2TW on a brand new vista rig tonight and I was shocked to see that. Is there a way of telling it to stop doing that crap?

Yes.

You can pretty easily adjust exactly what you want UAC to warn you for, so on and so forth.

I merely disabled it asap, however

I know what to install/not to touch
