Modify the ACL on the dosbox.conf and give yourself write permission.

Windows Vista seems worse than Linux. I feel like i'm pulling teeth. Well I changed the security for the whole dosbox folder. That really helped but i'm still unable to do the same for the dosbox.conf file. I'm a little stumped, but it works now.

Thanks
