CKEditor not staying selected in drop down..............Fixed!

So like many I have tried to install the CKEditor plug-in and when I went to select it from the drop down, it would default back to the plain text editor.:wacko:
I have now spent 3 hours on this searching the forums and internet for a solution and have found the problem I was having and thought I would post my findings.
When I downloaded the zip file, I quickly read the directions on installation and put the module into the languages folder because I incorrectly assumed the zip was bad.

When you read further in the install directions and I quote:
Upload the various files from your PC to your website, placing each file in the same folder where you found it in the zip, ie:
/admin/includes/ckeditor.php goes to your website into your existing /renamed-admin/includes/ folder.
/admin/includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/ckeditor.php is added to your /renamed-admin/includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/ folder
/editors/ckeditor/ (the entire folder) gets copied to your /editors/ folder

You see that you need to put the ckeditor.php file directly into the includes folder of your renamed admin folder and NOT the languages folder ...
**... exactly as it comes in the zip. **
The other file does go into the extra_definitions folder under languages-english-extra_definitions.
Hopefully this will help others as it was quite frustrating trying to do this simple task and the directions for installation are conflicting.
I have downloaded this zip file 3 times , thinking it was corrupted somehow from this site. :jump:
After putting the file in the includes folder and not the languages folder, this now works fine.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!!! I spent hours trying to figure it out by searching on this forum, using so many different search terms. Saw the problem a lot, but this was the only answer and I have no idea how I got here.
