Actually its bad practice to have the app and data on the same partition and hardrive as the system one so what I've done to get around that is I moved profile and all to another partition and mounted that partition under c:\users. Works perfectly. As far as Vista is concerned its using the default location but the actually data is on a separate partition and drive. This is necessary for me since I use a program called Deepfreeze and I tend to freeze my system drive.

But the problem I've been having with BNR3 under Vista is with that qtinf.dll. BNR3 gives me tons of errors and doesn't seem to work right.
