well under user accounts you should use %appdata%, nothing should be written to program files cept for when you install a program in there. all else wise all data should be saved in %appdata%, else wise if I'm running LUA than i will get accessed denided errors trying to run q3

<br><br>The last message to pop up when using the %PROGRAMFILES% variable in the console is the following: fs_homepath is write protected.<br><br>Apparently whenever the code catches a space in the fs_homepath parameter it automatically spits out the message, fs_homepath is write protected and the sets all the letters before the first occurring space as the fs_homepath.
<br><br>There must be some way to tell the program about a space in the fs_homepath parameter: %APPDATA% has spaces all over the place and yet it is saved in the program correctly by default--unless you try to use ioquake3.x86.exe
