You need to make an autoexec.cfg file containing the binds you require, placed in the baseq2 dir.

hi,there is autoexec there in q2,base2.when i try to modify and save ,windows tells me path and file incorrect and wont save.tried copying autoexec and modify that still no joy m8.like i said aint much good with stuff like this!

Hi, can you post the exact error you are getting please.
Also, can you try editing it using an Administrator account if you haven't already (or run your editor 'As administrator' and then open the cfg with it).

not sure what that means sorry!message is
cannot create c:\program files\quake2\base2\autoexec.cfg
make sure path and file name is correct.
thats when i edit autoexec then save
hope this helps
i am using notepad to open the cfg files

From your start menu, find notepad and right-click on it and then select 'Run as administrator' - see screenshot below. I'm using Win7 so yours might not look exactly the same but you will still find it in Vista and even XP (though in XP you would likely be full administrator anyway). What OS are you using?

When notepad opens, select File -> Open and browse to your cfg file and open it.
