I just had to reinstall everything on my comp incuding Excelsior and Razor. I tried follow your directions to update the uo registry however when I double click the uo.reg file, it opens it instead of running it. Do you know what I am doing wrong and how to fix it?

Nevermind. Got it figured out. You can open notepad as a write file or a registry file. The path to UO needs to be in Program Files, not a desktop file.

Anarchy, if you're posting the Razor reg fix be so kind as to include the readme (customHOW-TO) file as well. It clearly states :
3. Change all instances of CUSTOMLOCATION to the path you moved the game foler to.
Example: You have drive "F" for games, and on it a folder named "MMORPG" that you wish to put this in.
You would change all instances of CUSTOMLOCATION to:
I:\\MMORPG
So that you would get lines such as
"ExePath"="I:\\MMORPG\\Ultima Online - Excelsior Shard\\client.exe"
"InstCDPath"="I:\\MMORPG\\Ultima Online - Excelsior Shard"
"PatchExePath"="I:\\MMORPG\\Ultima Online - Excelsior Shard\\uopatch.exe"
"StartExePath"="I:\\MMORPG\\Ultima Online - Excelsior Shard\\uo.exe"
Make sure that you type the backslashes \ as a doubleshash \\ (it's an escape character).
So the file you posted would not work at all, unless someone figured out that they have to correct the path. Which not everyone does.

everyone should have the howto file, no? Unless you installed from a CD and just patched to 5.0.9.1?

Well, the prepatched client has that folder, but I'm not sure if downloading regular UO and patching manually (which is not available anymore) adds the folder or not.
Btw - you could have used a forum PM to send him the file. Making new Razor topics only adds to the already significant confusion around it.

I appreciate the help that Anarchy had posted. I copied the client from my external hard drive to the desktop, creating the path c:\users\watson\desktop. I then changed the custom registry file included in the client to follow that path. I assumed Razor would be able to use the new path to find the correct file to run. My assumption was incorrect. When I moved the file from the desktop to the Program Files folder and changed the custom registry to search in Program Files folder, it worked like a champ. I was unaware that sending the program down a path to a destination is not enough. The path needs to lead to Program Files for Razor to take it. Kind of sounds like a cranky mule.
Maybe others have had luck using locations other than Program Files. I am not one of them.

Luckily I'm not a vet, so I don't run to the GMs about everything I don't like. The "There's nothing more to see here. Move along." method works heck of a lot better and leaves me just a little bit more sane.
