Can anybody please help me? I was trying to put a new copy of game.bin into the compileddefs directory and stupid, stupid Windows Vista 'Helped' me with a mere brush of the mouse by automatically copying "game.bin" over all 5 of the files in the directory.
I was just renaming it, and the files are still there, but they all are now game(1).bin, game(2).bin, game(3).bin, etc.
If anyone can just list the contents of the directory, or know where I can find the names of these 5 files, I can rename them back. I can't get to the original data on the disk without reloading Fable..........thanks if anyone is out there.

I'm an old school computer guy, been a computer support tech for decades.
I don't like top heavy OSs that help you along with everything especially with wild mouse clicks. In this case just moving the arrow over the files can hilite them all accidentally and somewhere in between the endless barrage of security popups, it applies rename to all.
Whatever happened to good old fashioned "rename" on a command line, and enter? I though that was easy enough.
I think Windows isn't needed at all to list and run stuff on your computer, probably the last person on earth that still thinks that.
Oh well.

Moving the arrow does not select anything. Clicking on an item selects and click & drag selects multiple items, this is the same as xp and indeed most os software.
There is nothing in the Void.
There is no point to it's being.
I wish there was a reason.
There is nothing in the Void,
But what we put there.
