Now the volume bar minimizes the game for some reason, however, but at least the big problem is fixed. Thanks again. 100% success, thank you.

Almost done here. I moved the folder where I wanted it, but it is also still where it was and it won't allow me to delete it, saying that something is using it. I can't make a junction if the folder I'm linking it to is still there. What do I do? Thanks. Almost done here.

It started this after I clicked "I agree" to the licensing. I'll look for another. That one looked promising, so that sucks. Thanks for your help.

I haven't had any xp machines for a few years now, so I have no way to test it. Sorry. Running a junction /? Should get you on the right path. That is the right tool.

Guess I won't be figuring this out anytime soon. Running on 4 hours of sleep means I have to be walked through everything. I found this: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896768 But in my current state, I'm not sure what to do with it. Well, thanks. Guess I won’t be figuring this out anytime soon.
