How To: Set permissions on Windows 7

Microsoft's latest release, Windows 7, is very picky about permissions. If you are having difficulty using Email Marketing Director with the new Windows 7 system, here are a couple of things to try. After installing Windows 7, log into your computer as the Administrator user, and there should be no problems running Email Marketing Director. If it is necessary to log in as a different user, you may need to set the permissions for that user in order to run the program.

To do that, navigate to the Email Marketing Director program folder. In a typical installation it is located at C:\Program Files\EmailMarketingDirector. Find the emailmarketingdirector.exe file. Right mouse click the file and open the Properties menu. Go to the security tab. Click the "Edit" button. Highlight the Groups or User name and check the "Full Control - Allow" checkbox to allow full access for the selected groups or users.

Repeat the same procedure for the Email Marketing Direct program folder itself too, and that should take care of any permissions issues that come up.
