I just reinstalled my EQ files and all is ok, But when I go to myP99 DIR but the Characters .ini files are not there. However, my toons UI are fine. My question is what is blocking the file generation from happening?

The only thing I can think of blocking file creation is installing the EQ Titanium client in a place that is controlled by the Windows UAC, such as any of the Program Files directories.
I'd recommend installing it at either the root of C:\ or in your Documents directory. You have full control over these locations without the Windows UAC interfering.
Let me know if this works for you.

It the EQ dir already is in C:\, So I use a proghram on Said file to take ownership of it and turned off the UAC and still there is no file generation...

well, I found the files, For some reason, I believe that Win 10 Place them in a different file ( C:\Windows.old\Users\Name\AppData\Local\VirtualSto re\Program Files (x86)\P-99 ) why it did I I have no clue... Except Win want all the control over your computer.
So does anyone know how to migrate them back where they belong?

It is in the correct file This is the path ( C:\Program Files (x86)\P99 ). It is how I always did the install to P99. Go figure???

Move the entire EQ directory from c:\program files (x86)\P99 to something like c:\P99 (just simply cut and paste the directory and change your shortcuts to point to the new path)
That's what Wraythian was getting at in their post.
