Overwriting eq2.ini

[colinmarsh00]

i feel really dumb asking this because i'm sure it's simple but i've browsed the faq and the info on the new download and don't find it.

how do i stop the autoupdater from overwriting my eq2.ini everytime it starts up. i want to use my own custom ui with the eq2maps under it. i've done this for months but now when i launch the first thing it does is overwrite the .ini to me ui/eq2maps.

i got around this by making the file read only and clicking trhough the first file access error that pops up but that's clearly a hack. there must be a way to do this.
