People always seem to have issues with operating MWS under Vista and complain about issues.

- If you install MWS to Program Files, you will not be able to see your decklists. This has something to do with MWS' save routines, and not Vista itself.

- When installing MWS, save it to your personal folder (i.e. if your name's Bob, it'll be in your Bob folder). As long as your decklists are in the decks folder within MWS within Bob, you shouldn't have any problems finding it Smile

Both your points are actually wrong.

You can SEE your decklists, no matter where you install MWS. Vista's security architect only won't allow a program (say, Firefox) to access another program's (say, MWS) data folders, which is why you must use a public folder to save your decks (such as D:\ or the folder called Public).

So, forget whatever Weedmonkey said and install your MWS wherever you damn please, but save all your decks to public folders!
