Are you saying you can't access documents and settings folders or that you can't access Flight Simulator config file?

I nedd to have unrestricted acces to the Documents and Settings file in order to go to User\my name\roving and access FSX.CFG This is the Flightsim 10 configf file. If I cannot tweak it for amxium frame rates the game is unplayble and vista comes off!

Try this

go to explorer - C Drive - Users - User Name - AppData - Roaming - Application Folder - FSX. CFG

or

open explorer - in the search tab paste fsx.cfg. Right click on the file and open it in notepad. Make your changes and click save

Cathy, don't be embarrassed. It what we are here for. There are no stupid questions, just some that are easy to answer. If you think I helped give my rep a nudge, that's all

Merry Christmas
