how to use 'satellite view' as the default view?

How can I use the satellite view as the default view when starting civ4? I could not find the setting in the ini file.

i made an autohotkey script to do this and other settings in game as workaround.

How difficult is it to install a new cd drive on a toshiba satellite laptop? My son uses a hand-me-down Toshiba Satellite Laptop and the CD Drive is structurally / mechanically broken. How difficult would it be to install a new one myself? Any websites for instructions... I've installed new laptop hard drives and memory before but never a CD drive. Is it easy enough for me to do or should I take it to a repair shop?

As someone who occasionally engages in computer repair, replacing major hardware like that can be a pretty difficult task on a laptop, desktops are usually no problem, but depending on how the internal structure of that laptop is setup it could be a real pain to do-it-yourself unless you're pretty capable with computer hardware. Personally i'd just take it to a repair shop. plus then if they mess something up it's their liability.
