i plan to update my win 7 installation and want to know where the save game is stored and i have to backup it.

my steam folder is on my second hard disk so maybe it is inside this folder but i dont see it.

    You don't have permission to write inside the game folder unless you have admin priivleges.

    Also, in the My Documents case you'll have one single folder you need to move from one machine to the other (or keep a copy of when formatting your harddisk) instead of having to hunt for all those config and save-files littered throughout your Program Files folder...

    [X] Me likes - just what took MS so long to copy this from Unix? :D

    np: Tosca - Chocolate Elvis (Bullitnuts Version 2) (The Chocolate Elvis Dubs)

    Microsoft has nothing to do with it, and you really think Tales of Monkey Island is the first game to save files in appdata? If so.. you should really REALLY take another look there. Countless amounts of games have been doing that for many years.

    Please stop talking bullshit. :)

    Of course ToMI is not the first to do this, but since Vista it's mandated by Microsoft to store savegames et al in the user's home directory - but it should have been like that since, what, Windows 2000?

    How appropriate, you fight like a cow... :p

    You do know that you can just right-click on your "My Documents" folder, choose "Properties" and click on the "Move" button to put your "My Documents" folder anywhere you want?

    Not on Win7. The Documents folder is now a direct subfolder of the userdirectory and not movable anymore. The new location is ~/Documents with Symlinks a ~/My Documents and ~/Local-My-Documents-Name pointing to the directory. Microsoft even went so far as to include recursive Symlinks for AppData.

    That's nothing you shouldn't be able to fix with your own symlinks/junctions/NTFS reparse points...
