Regulator needs admin privileges
Brought to you by:

When starting Regulator with an restricted user account on Windows XP, the following error message is shown:
---------------------------
---------------------------
Could not save settings to file:
Access to the path "C:\Program Files\The Regulator 2.0\editor.config" is denied.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
Regulator must not write into it's program folder, because non-admins have read permissions only. Use the application data folder instead. See System.Environment.SpecialFolder enumeration.

I wanted to confirm this problem. In my testing it occurs after
you perform a fresh install of regulator v 2.0.3 as an
administrator and then try using it as a regular user.
However, after running the program as an administrator,
trying to start it as a regular user causes a
TypeInitializationException. Changing access permissions on
the editor.config to allow regular users modify the file does
not help.
