Im probably missing something here, but i reinstalled BSF a while ago and made up some ships, with the idea being i would pit them against some of my friends, but I can't find the files on my computer, they appear normally in C:/Program Files/Battleships Forever, when i try to open them in the ship maker, but when im trying to find them any other way, say, through MSN or just the explorer i can't find them, they don't seem to show up.

Whats happening??

Are you using Vista? If you're running with UAC on it likes to store them somewhere else. I forget where exactly though.

If Vista + UAC ... Vista tricks your program into thinking it is writing to program files, while silently saving the data to the virtual store (c:\users\username\appdata\local\virtualstore).

Oh, thats right there they are, is there a fix for this? Its sort of annoying to have to find them like this every time i want to look at a file.

Thanks.

Useless Acid Can... something like User Acces Control or som of that shit.

User Account Control. Go to the Security Center under Program Files and turn it off. Vista will nag you occasionally about it being off but it's not a real concern.
