where is guildwars.ds located? I checked my Guild Wars folder in program files and it wasn't there...

Right, had someone from Guru whisper me in game and it worked fine for him, so here's how you do it. But first, here is what DirectSong says about editing their file:

DO NOT EDIT! This file will be clobbered the next time you download a Guild Wars expansion Pak or soundtrack from DirectSong.com.
(Okay, if you do want to edit it, then just be aware that it could be clobbered. So backup your changes, as well as the original. Also! Making changes to this file is not supported in any way by DirectSong or ArenaNet. The only advice you would get support-wise would be to redownload a version known to work. So there.)

Open the GuildWars.ds file from where you installed your DirectSong tracks. Look for a line that starts with loginza. That is the old Prophecies opening theme music. The line loginnf is the current Nightfall theme. So quite simply, switch the two letters on those lines around so that the old Prophecies track line starts with loginnf and the Nightfall music line with loginza.
Note that you won't most likely have the loginnf line at all in your file if you do not have any Nightfall DirectSong tracks installed. You can still change the loginza to loginnf and not worry about editing a second line.

After this save the file and you have Prophecies theme playing instead of Nightfall music at the login screen.

I think maybe instead of what your saying changing it back to Prophecies. It would be nice if they made a panel that showed an option for ALL 3 of the campaign backrounds-and you could select the one you'd like.
