Sorry bad wording on my part, but I still think it would be better not to make a dramatic change to Torque.

About ten minutes after I did this I decided it was the best option I had ever changed in my computer.
"ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO RUN THIS SUSPICIOUS PROGRAM 'My Computer'?!?! IT MAY BE A TERRIBLE VIRUS!"
"You need admin permission to do this. Since you are an admin, you have the permission to click this button and give yourself permission."

I run Blockland from an external drive and it works just fine. It's more or less a "portable" app; it doesn't install any drivers or DLLs and it doesn't add keys to the registry.
I prefer that Badspot spend his Blockland time on bug fixes and new features instead of catering to "programmers" bitching about menial stuff.

It's not menial. It's the way programs are supposed to be written. It's called good practice. And I don't appreciate you putting programmer in quotes to say that I am not one.
Besides, changing paths is not hard. It would require changing ONE line of code for each path in a well structured program.

Or you could use a well-structured operating system i.e. not Windows Vista

Vista/7 follow the same structure as Windows XP, Me, 98, 95, and possibly earlier. Vista/7 just enforce using the folders for what they should be used for.
