Settings not restored, and no shortcut in start menu

[Zeus[BTY]]

Hi,

After a fresh install of Windows 7 and Civ 4 including Warlords and BTS (all separate CD's), I have shortcuts in my start menu for Warlords and vanilla Civ 4, but not for BTS... I have to start it by using the run command or browsing to the folder in Windows Explorer (which does not add the shortcut to the "recent apps" list, so I have to do it like that each time).

Also, custom single player settings like "new random seed" or "no technology brokering" are not remembered between sessions (in fact, when I start a new game with these settings, and immediately return to the main menu, and go to custom game again, the settings are gone), and the difficulty level keeps defaulting to Chieftain.

I'm 100% sure these settings used to be remembered... does anyone know what the problem is here?

Thanks,

Zeus

As for the Shortcut thing, i made the same Observation. BTS didn't put Shortcut into Start menu. But maybe that's because i did uncheck an option for that during install, don't remember.

Easy fix: Install the BUG mod. (You should anyway. It has so many nice improvements to plain BTS interface). It will put up a Shortcut "play BUG mode" which you can then pin to the Taskbar or copy to the Desktop..

Btw if you haven't done so, take a look at the sticky thread about installing on win7.
