The path to the file depends on where you have WoW installed.

For a WinDoze 7 or Vista machine, it is [ C: > Users > Public > Games > World of Warcraft > Interface > AddOns > nUI > Integration > nUI_ChatFrame.lua ]

For a WinDerz XP box, it is [ C: > Program Files > World of Warcraft > Interface > AddOns > nUI > Integration > nUI_ChatFrame.lua ]

Rather than trying to type it all in to open the file, I would suggest just starting a C: and double clicking your way down to the file... that way you actually see the path as you build it and no room for typos.

I tell this stupid thing where to find it and tells me " File already exists, are you sure you want to overwrite it ? " when I clk OK I get the same message again
" Cannot find C:\bla-bla\bla-bla\World of Warcraft\Interface\Addons\nui\Integration\nui_ChatFrame.lua"

Am I doing something wrong, or using the wrong text editor or am I just plain stupid. Please be frank, I am big boy and can take it....but take it easy om me I have a frail heart.

Thx in advance
