That will work of course but if you update stellarium it will overwrite the ssystem.ini file in the\stellarium\data folder but not the version in your user area.

The best place to put you real working version is in the user area. If you don't like the version there remove it and put your new planned working ssystem.ini file in \users\your name\appdata\roaming\stellarium\dat a

I personally have no bother with permissions because I ran "take ownership" and re-set all the permissions to suit my requirements.

Incidently when doing a search you will need the exact name the comet is stored as. In Andrew's offered version it is "comet 1P/Halley". Halley or 1p/halley searches won't find it!
