(...)you can just restore the key file by going to your BYOND user folder (in the pager, File->Preferences->Advanced to see the user dir). Close the pager, delete the file called "key.txt" in there and then restart BYOND. Then input your key name & password to redownload it from the hub.

Did you find and manage to navigate to the the directory mentioned under 'User Directory' in File->Preferences->Advanced?

it usually happens when the file is marked read-only.
the default folder is "My Documents/Byond" in XP for future reference
