I would cut and past the folder to be in the guildwars folder and see if GW picks it up / saves to it correctly.

Or you can do something simple take the folder and drag it into the guild wars file and if that does not work I would suggest putting the template folder on the desktop if you are giving the templates to other players such as guildies and friends.

Are you saying it's not working now?
It sounds like Guild Wars is trying to be more compliant with multi-user standards. Part of this is being able to operate with a limited-rights account (non-administrator), which means that users don't have rights to save data in files under /Program Files/ (where the default GW installation is).
But this is just speculation... Sorry, I guess that's not helpful if you want to move the files to the old directory.

It is working but just not saving to the location like in Win XP. Maybe it is trying to do the rights like you said. I frequently format my computer so just dont want to forget and loose all my templates I tried to run it with Admin rights but still the same. Anyone find a fix?
To ANet's Developers: If possible implement so we can change template save location. Thanks!

Ok, after a recent reinstall of vista (damn nvidia drivers!!!), I have now found out, to my happy happy joy joy ness, that GW saves screenshots and templates into your My Documents folder... Look there

OK, folks I have figured it out.
If you run GW in Vista normally it does put it in your "Documents" folder.
If you change the "Properties">"Compatibility" to Windows XP(Service Pack 2)
it creates the folders under "Program Files"
Enjoy moving the files manually though.
