Cannot open mql4 file from filesystem.
Most likely a UAC issue . . . you can fix it or just re-install MT4 in a folder other than Programme Files (x86)

Hello,
I am using MetaTrader 4. I have created an expert advisor under the \experts directory
and it shows up in MT4. However when I navigate via the filesystem to
C:\Program Files (x86)\MetaTrader 4\experts
I see all the default files but not the file I created that shows up in MT4.
Why is my file not showing up?
How can I open the file from the filesystem (with another editor than MetaEditor)?
When I do a search and right click on properties it shows up as "C:\Program Files (x86)\MetaTrader 4\experts\FooExpertAdvisor.mq4"
but then when I click on it to try to open it it will not open under Windows 7.
In any case it seems somewhat strange that a system program like MT4 will write to \experts which is a system directory
rather than to an \experts folder in my home directory.
Thanks for your help trying to open my file via the desktop,
Neil
