Any idea how to progress from here?

I think you need to start a campaign, save it, exit the game, then restart the launcher for preferences to show up. I recall a thread explaining that you had to get so far into the game for it to create the preference .txt document in the first place. If you don't, there is nothing there for the launcher to edit. Someone correct me if I'm off base here.

If you've already started a campaign or several and it still isn't working, that is a more complex question than I have an answer to. I'll leave that to brighter minds than mine.

You're most probably using windows Vista or 7, which store the file in some sort of 'virtual storage' which the launcher is unable to reach. Try googling a bit to find it on your system and then change it manually
