    Windows 8.1 Skydrive Move Gamer Profile Location

    Hi all, have recently upgraded to Windows 8.1 but have noticed that my gamer profile has some how defaulted to the integrated skydrive rather than the usual %userprofile%/my documents/my games location. As I'm quite the organized person this is no good to me and I'd like to move it to its original location before the upgrade. Ive looked for config files and had a look through the registry but cannot find what I'm looking for to help point Far Cry in the right direction. Any help would be appreciated??

    Will a reinstall help?

    Thanks in advance

    Looks like this is just default for Windows 8.1 and there's nothing I can do about it.

    Haha, that's paranoia for you. Yeah Windows 8 has some sucky concepts and likes to crash games a lot more than 7 but hey how its "the way forward" for Windows. Hopefully steams OS will take off and I can ditch windows for good. The only fix for my issue was to hide the folders and hope I don't forget about them.
