Yesterday I decided to reset my interface and I did as I have always done in the past. I deleted the info inside my WTF folder.

When I logged back in, I discovered that all my addons settings were still present. After doing some searching I noticed that .lua saved variable files where in the virtual store in the user app data section in Vista. When I deleted those files, I had loading issues with WoW on Vista. After I restored the files, everything was back to normal. That is, all my old interface options where there.

I then tried the repair utility to reset my addons and that didnt work. Btw I had issues running this as administrator on Vista with UAC turned off.

First question am I right to assume that the data in Virtual store on vista is the actual saved variables for my addons. If not, then where is this info located, right now I can tell you my WTF folder is empty, yet non of my mod settings have reset.

Is there something else I need to do, Any help is appreciated.

Is *that* what happened? ><

You guys really need to put in a "moved from" marker so we don't chew people out like that :P

I posted it orginally in this forum, then came back this after noon and figure i would see if tech support would have a better say in it. Somebody moved it over here.

Thanks Darth I will give that a try.

just an update for anybody else who may of had the same issue. Darth's suggestion worked, just had to run the repair utlity once i moved the WoW folder out of my program files directory.

Thank again.

You do realize that its "Datth" and not the self important horde priest from our server right?

I'm behind the times and just got a new pc with vista... i just noticed this problem too. how do you move world of warcraft out of program files without messing it up?

Yay for two year thread necros.

The same way you copy any other directory or file...

Right click the wow directory, select copy. Go to where you want to put it. Right click and select paste.

so windows registry will recognize this? usually moving programs around screws up registry pointers... that's why i asked

WoW doesn't have any registry entries. You can run it all on a flash drive, if you like.

And in the future, just create your own thread instead of rezzing up a 2.5 year old one from the dead. ;)

i'm resto... so that's what i do :D

thx for the responses, very helpful!
