more detail....

After moving my files back to the local "my documents" and deleting the relationship with the network store in windows (and a subsequent reboot) the game is working. Or at least I am assuming it is back to normal... I will play around with it a little and see what happens.

However, the fact that my path is different but the game still seems to rely on files stored in the default location is very troubling to me. I am going to continue to go through the game settings and look for any references to images, textures or data that would have been in the old default. My objective being to relocate the user data under the main app directory. Is this something in OOTP10 we can expect to be consolidated? The practice of placing application data in a shared system directory (with the exception of dlls) seems inherently risky. The practice of separating custom user and default app system data is admirable but this could be accomplished more efficiently with better safeguards.
