Default Download GW all at once

I have a fresh install of windows and I'm downloading guildwars. Is there a way to download the whole game at once instead of having to download new sections when loading a new instance in the game? I searched for this a little bit; I recall there being a way to do this but I couldn't find it.

make a shortcut to your gw.exe.

add the -image to the end of the shortcut.

Yes, the -image command is what you want. Just be warned that it could take a couple hours, depending on your connection.

A tip is that before wiping your guild wars installation, copy the gw.dat file (the really huge file ~3gigabytes) from the Program Files/Guild Wars folder onto a DVD-RW or something then put it back after reinstalling - it will save you having to redownload everything
