1.02: Cannot save XnView settings to the program folder

XnView: 1.02 - 64-bit
OS: Windows 10 - 64-bit

XnView with a fresh install setting it to save XnView settings to use .ini folder in "Program (XnView)" or changing the settings in Setting, Integration, Paths under XnView Settings to use .ini folder in "Program (XnView)" does not work it will only save to "User (System)".

Effect: Setting does not change save .ini folder location

To reproduce:
1. Fresh install or a current install set XnView Settings to use .ini folder in "Program (XnView)".
2. If you go back to the setting it reverts to User (System).
3. If you click Open Config Files Location it'll open explorer in "C:\Users\[User Name]\AppData\Roaming\XnViewMP"
Actual behaviour (bug): XnView will only use .ini folder in "User (System)" even if change on new install or current install

Expected behaviour: Saving XnView Settings to use .ini folder in "Program (XnView)"

Ok, it works now after right clicking on the XnViewMP folder then going to the Security tab and giving myself ownership and then allowing my username full control.
