I have Enable Direct Metabase Edit checked, so rule that out.

When I do edit the xml file in notepad and try to save it it will not
let me save the changes. It seems to be locked. I can use an unlocker
program, http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker/, to unlock it from
inetinfo.exe. I can then save it. Whether the changes are implemented
I am not sure.

Any ideas
