Thanks for this. I am finding it very usefull.

When installing on Vista, I have had to set the "Run as
administrator" flag on the shortcut as its config files are held in
the Program Files directory. It's no biggy but I'd have taken longer
to discover the workround if I hadn't run it on Vista first.

One could install the program in one's user space as an alternative,
and probably should.

Thanks Dave,

The config file need write permission to vwget folder.
So we need to place vwget in a writable folder.
If you run vwget as limited user,
you can put vwget on user document & settings dir,
including desktop, my documents, for example.

When not run as an administrator,
vwget may not be able to write the config file,
and also the auto shutdown may not work.
