Hello,
It's been a while since I played GW. 5 years or so.
And I remember there was a letter you can use in the properties to download all the maps and patches together.
Instead of running the game, and go to each area one by one.

I think it was putted after the target: "X:\Program Files (x86)\Guild Wars\Gw.exe"

"X:\Program Files (x86)\Guild Wars\Gw.exe" -image
remember to add a space and then remove the -image after its done!

And, note that -image is, properly, outside the quotes (" ").

Ah that was it. Thanks, it's working now. :}

I had no idea you could do anything like this, this would be so useful as I am going to be upgrading computers soon and it would be great not to have to load everything. Where exactly am I putting that? Properties like in my computer or in some document in guild wars itself?

Thanks you guys!

You put that in the Target line of your GW desktop shortcut. If you don't have a GW desktop shortcut - or you only have the link in the Vista/7 Games folder - you can create a desktop shortcut by going to where your Guild Warts folder is - usually C:\Program Files or C:\Program Files (x86) - and locating gw.exe (the .exe may be hidden depending upon your folder options).
Right-click on gw.exe and choose Send To, then Desktop (Create Shortcut).
