You didn't cause any aggravation or bad feeling.
But let us know how you get on won't you. I want to know how it turns out. :)

Why? It is the folder dedicated to programs. All my Thief games are installed there and all run well.
Depends on taste, but i personally don't like to install games into program files x86 anymore. I generally use lots of mods for different games and sometimes their installers and 7/Vista security don't like each other unless you run every installer as an admin. Plus, some games need to be run as an admin if you install them into that folder. I've found keeping a separate folder for games the least problematic solution overall. I don't need to spend my playing time on debugging issues that ocur because a certain mods files didn't get copied over correctly (has happened).

Still doesn't change the fact that this is no Win7 issue. Multicore has been around for 7 years.
Isn't it just mindboggling, that in 7 years and 3 OS-es Microsoft hasn't created a convenient way for a user to just run a desired application with affinity set to one core (Unless you call alt-tabbing out of an application or downloading a command line utility convenient)?
