err sorry worded that funny. my "local settings" directory is invisable for some reason. When I try to manually enter the path it is creates a parallel path around my unser name so instead of going to C:/doc and settings/Name Here/local settings/ect... it goes to C:/doc and settings/name here/local settings/ect...

any advise? or like I said could someone just tell me how to change the directory path for the mod?

its a hidden folder go to tools >> FOLDER OPTION >> VIEW and change it to show hidden folders

I find it pretty silly they put the mod dir there since some peeps have trouble finding it since the dir is hidden and all.

But there are loads of programs that put crap in the Appdata/local dir

I second the original question..sorta. I can find the directory needed no problem but don't want to use the hard drive that default mod path is on to store mod/game info.

Is there some way to make the game look at a different directory that can be set by the user rather than being forced to use one in doc & settings?
