RichCopy fails with "failed to load copy option"

If you change what you want to RichCopy. Microsoft's unsupported backup utility, to do, you get an error - "failed to load copy option..."

This is because the file that stores the options you select cannot be saved to the program files directory.

Select what you want to do and then save 'default.rcx' to another location.

It will then work
