I'm not sure where to post this, as I just got PCSX2 today, but When I tried to make changes to the emulator (like changing the resolution), the Program Log would read the following:
[wx] can't commit changes to file 'C:\Users\USER\Documents\PCSX2\inis\PCSX2_ui.ini' (error 5: access is denied.)
[wx] Failed to update user configuration file.
This happened before, and I uninstalled and reinstalled then looked for a fix, and the one I found said to just install PCSX2 to a folder not in the C:\Users folder, so I made a new folder with path C:\PCSX2\ and installed the emulator there. However, it still comes up with this error message.
I looked, and the file C:\Users\USER\Documents\PCSX2 was created again, despite me having PCSX2 installed to C:\PCSX2\
I also looked in C:\PCSX2\ and the file is still there, but it doesn't have the same contents as the file in the Users directory.

I'm not sure why the second folder was created. I couldn't find any way to fix other than reinstalling to another folder, which I already tried. Is there anything I'm doing wrong, or another fix entirely?
