global ignores

Hello

I am trying to get subversion to ignore certain files and directories on a windows system. I am using a windows 7 machine with a 1.7 subversion client. My repository has about 40 projects in it and I want to ignore bin and obj directories along with *.sou and *.user files. I seemed like it was working but it is acting strangely. I just recently rebuilt my machine, but a project I added prior to the rebuild is only half correct, the folders are being ignored but not the files. The files are stored on a network drive and I issued svn proplist -R and do not see any ignores in the list. I saw somewhere that I can edit the config file in this folder C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Subversion, but this directory is inaccessible. I went to %Appdata% and found a config file there. So I tried to edit it, however I can find no information on how to properly edit it.

I saw
# global-ignores = *.o *.lo *.la *.al .libs *.so *.so.[0-9]* *.a *.pyc *.pyo
I tried
# global-ignores = *.o *.lo *.la *.al .libs *.so *.so.[0-9]* *.a *.pyc *.pyo *.sou
And
# global-ignores = *.o *.lo *.la *.al .libs *.so *.so.[0-9]* *.a *.pyc *.pyo
global-ignores = *.sou

But everytime I issue a svn status I still see the files. I do not know if status ignores the ignore list and it is just for committing or if I am editing the right file. Nor do I know if a reboot is needed before the changes take effect, I tried that once but I can be here for hours with all the unknowns. Anyone have any idea?
