If you're installing in Windows 7 (or really any version of Windows), I'd recommend installing it to C:\games\EverQuest II or something like that. Keep it out of the C:\Program Files folder structure.

1 - You know exactly where it got installed.
2 - You avoid all the UAC stuff with Windows 7 where it may prevent the application and 3rd party tools from writing to or modifying files there.

I have seen on my old system where Norton Antivirus interfered with parts of the game being able to save changes. Some kind of timing issue where the file wasn't being unlocked by NAV soon enough for the application to save the change. So, you might exclude the EverQuest II directory if problems persist from your A/V software.

Also, sometimes the UI Settings files get so overloaded with stuff that they stop working correctly and windows stop remembering their positions.
