This is terrible embarrassing, but I can't make this change
because I can't write into the ITTVIS directory. Nor have
I been able to figure out how to change the permissions
on these kinds of directories in Windows 7. (Right clicking,
selecting Permissions, etc., *appears* to work, but it doesn't
actually work.)

I know this is a Windows 7 thing, but does anyone know
how to do this? Dick Jackson was pointing out a useful
trick to me the other day that involved writing something
into the Help directory, and I tried for 45 minutes to get
that to work without success, too.

It must involve somehow taking over ownership of the
files from the "installer," but either I can't follow
directions (pretty likely) or Windows wants to make it
so hard you need a Ph.D. in Computer Science to do it.

Cheers,

David
