On Win7 64-bit When launching blindspot.exe the following error message is displayed.

quotOops! Error during load: Access to the path 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Blindspot\Settings\user_settings.dat' is denied. OKquot

Choosing quotRunn as administratorquot from the context menu appears to work around this issue.

All done! This should be fixed in the Blindspot 0.9.1 Installer on the downloads page. This means though, that if you did change around the hotkeys, it'll revert back to normal now. You can change them again by going to your user local app data folder and looking inside the Blindspot folder that will appear there.

Aha, yes, we probably shouldn't be keeping the settings type stuff there, now I think about it, Windows 7 onwards gets quite protective of Program Files. Thanks for bringing this up, I'll take a look.
