If you are running on Windows Vista or later you can rely on UAC Virtualization to do this.
Make sure that you store the ini file in \Program Files\PSPad Editor. When you run PSPad.exe as administrator it will use the copy in this Program files folder. WHen you run as a normal user it will make a copy of that ini file into %LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore\Program Files\PSPad Editor and run from that copy. When not elevated the copy in VirtualStore is overlayed on top of the copy in the real Program Files. In both cases PSPad thinks it is editing the copy in the real Program Files. -- <http://forum.pspad.com/read.php?2,54859,54911> PSPad freeware editor http://www.pspad.com
