Hi Brenda,

path during setup, but you CAN'T choose where the game files are put.
That's always in the 'My Documents' folder (of course the name is
different for each language, in German 'Meine Dateien' or so).

Have fun!

It is very easy to move the My documents folder.
Just right click on the folder and select Properties and then click on the
Move button.

Soon it won't be that easy... more games and programs are by default putting
files there. The folder can easily grow to unholy proportions, and when you
try to move that, your OS will hang (not responsive), while your harddisk is
churning loudly moving the files.

that sux! I have a lot more space on my D: Drive than on the C for that kind
of stuff.

Well, you can always do it manually - copy the files over, then edit the
registry key.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell
Folders

Change all the values in there except "Fonts".
