So presumably you've tried 
C:\Users\steve\AppData\Roaming\.gnuradio\config.conf, which is what it 
used to be before the latest release (and what the Wiki still says).

Can you try C:\Users\steve\AppData\Roaming\.config\gnuradio\config.conf? 
That should be the correct path for a fresh installation without any old 
configuration around.

Cheers,
Ryan
