Please note that Microsoft's new operating system (Vista), makes some security related changes that affect the use of the TES Construction Set. Specifically, any file that is located under the "C:\Program Files" directory is protected from being changed. If you have installed your Elder Scrolls game into the default directory, it will be affected by these security changes. The following is a list of how this affects the construction set and .ESP files: | Please note that Microsoft's new operating system (Vista), makes some security related changes that affect the use of the TES Construction Set.

* While copying .ESP files into the default game directory, you will be prompted to allow the operation. To compound this, editing files in that directory directly is strictly prohibited by the operation system security.

* If you create a new .ESP file using the contruction set, the file will NOT be located where you would expect it to be. Instead, Windows Vista places the new file into a special directory located at "C:\Users\<login id>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Oblivion". Inside of this folder are any screen shots taken during the game while operating under "Vista". There is a sub-folder here named "Data" where the .ESP files created in the construction set are placed. The "<login id>" indicates the name of the user that is logged into the Vista operating system (e.g. "Rob", "Fred", "Sally", etc.). | * If you create a new .ESP file using the contruction set, the file will NOT be located where you would expect it to be.
