Hi, it looks like, PSPad is installed to the protected system folder C:\Program Files (x86)\ ... but is configured to have its ini files etc. in the main program folder (in single user environment) - this fails without admin mode, as writing there is disallowed (e.g. recently used search terms like in this case).
To fix this, You can either enable the Multi user environment Settings: System integration: [x] Multi User Environment (it might need admin privileges to change the setting) These files are then stored in user profile folders Alternatively, You can move the program to some custom not-protected folder, like D:\myprograms\PSPad\ then the single user environment should work too. regards, vbr -- <https://forum.pspad.com/read.php?4,70248,70250> PSPad freeware editor https://www.pspad.com
