Incorrect Skill templates folder in-game

Hi,

I have upgraded to Windows Vista x64 and, Guild Wars runs perfectly with no problems. When I try to load Skill/Equipment templates the game searches them in "C:\Users\<USERXX>\Documents\Guild Wars\Templates\" instead of the game folder. I searched the registry for Guild Wars program Keys but didn't find any related with this issue.

Any way to have the game search Templates in game folder?

It's not a big issue but, I just like to have my games files in one single folder for easy access and backup.

Thanks and Have fun,

It's not exactly incorrect. In a properly secure operating system user-specific files should be in the user's personal home directory, not some arbitary location on the hard drive that can be messed with by any user. I think preferring the user's home directory for personal stuff is part of some Vista compatibility spec; applications that don't comply with it may not run properly with lower access permissions. Guild Wars is merely trying to be compatible with that.

The lack of filesystem-level access permissions is part of why Windows XP is so staggeringly insecure, and any measures to improve on that should be seen as a godsend.

Try running in a compatibility mode if you must have GW act like it does in XP.

I have set the compatibility to Windows XP and the game now searches in the "right" folder.
Thanks.

Have fun,
