I was attempting to change the realmlist to log onto the server but I deleted the forlder in the process, now it wont let me add a new realmlist.wtf notepad in the wow classic folder says I need to contact admin...


I have full access and am admin on this computer and there is no option to open as admistrator.

If you space on your computer, you can try creating a new WoW folder with a new realmlist.wtf in it. Then copy and paste the contents of your old WoW folder into that. I'm not sure if this will work as I've never had this issue and I'm also certain there's an easier and faster to fix your problem, but that's the only thing that's coming to me.

Sounds like your WoW install folder is under the Program Files directory, which restricts adding or editing files.

Instead of creating it directly in the WoW folder itself, you could try creating the new realmlist on your desktop and then manually dragging it from the desktop into the WoW folder.
