Hi Jim, That's a good idea. I've thought about writing my own saved games etc to My Documents as well as they will be easier to find, edit, and/or delete if someone removes the game.
Anyway, as long as you get the right environment variable it should work regardless of what OS the person is running. The registry handles the location of all personal folders regardless if it is something like c:\Documents & Settings\Jim\My Documents or something like c:\Users\Thomas\My Documents on Windows Vista and later. Cheers!
