Problems with "Location of configuration files"

Hey, I'm new in here. I hope that this post will go to right forum.


This is my problem:

I can't check that box.
I'm using Windows 7. I think that the problem is how to get write access to that folder? and I have tried to uncheck that "read only"-box in foobar folder properties.
EDIT: I'm using admin-account
EDIT2: It's foobar v.1.0.1.

You can only write to your profile folder, regardless if you're admin or not.
It's a security feature in Windows 7.
You could turn off UAC to enable writing to any folder, but it makes the system less secure if you don't know what you do.

Or just install it on an external device, e.g. a USB memory.
Windows 10 Pro x64 // foobar2000 1.3.10

I installed it on my documents folder. It works well now.
Thank you
