I'm confused, is this a question?

When you install games they put values into the register to run the game itself... such as video, audio etc. By moving the game and not changing the register values, you essentially void those values. Unless the game can automatically create new ones once the .exe is ran.

w/o reinstalling or moving the folder, it's normally not possible (unless you modify the registry).


as you move wc3, there are void keys that appears, such as :

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{307A6C42-0000-0010-8000-00AA00389B71}\InprocServer32 (pointing to blizzard.ax)

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Blizzard Entertainment\Warcraft III (pointing to Gateways, installing paths, program names)

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Blizzard Entertainment\WorldEdit (pointing to WorldEdit data ; modifing can result in nice effects)

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Warcraft III (uninstalling paths)
