I'd like to know this aswell - seems a very recent thing. Devs making the save path in mydocs.. imo its a stupid idea, why not keep the save path in where the frigging game is installed? Or at least give an option at the installation screen

It is very disturbing. Sometimes it's almost impossible to find the correct savegame/profile folders to backup or delete after uninstallation.

But since most games support different windows user accounts, I guess they must store the settings and savegames in each user's documents to avoid problems.

I don't have the game, but maybe a registry key controls the save path.
Maybe do a search with regedit ??? Hope it helps.

Here is an answer fron Atari forums;

"You can right-click on the my documents folder and click properties, from there you can click the move button to move your my documents folder or set a new location."

I did this and move "my Documents" to a larger HD and it work just fine.
