These instructions are for RCT1.
The following are registry entries for RCT2.
I have attached a copy of the text in a file called RCT2.reg which is in a
zip file.
Make an edited copy of this file with the C: references changed to E:, then
double-click on the file in windows explorer and click OK when regedit asks
if you want to add the informatiom to the registry.
You can run the original RCT2.reg to restore your original settings.
