Default Re: Question about Win7 install and Aero

Thanks, Sprocket62
See the windows vista and seven installation instructions, which are posted in a sticky thread at the top of this forum. We do give you a suggested path in there.

I use c:\aaa\ and c:\xxx\ since the AAA folder appears at the top of the Windows explorer list, and XXX at the bottom, thus either is easily found. And both are short (easier to type into dialogues ). You may prefer something else.

Aero will not be turned on if it's off. The full-screen batch file (CMD file) will simply return the desktop to what it was before the full-screen game session.
