Heyas,
I am wanting to do the same thing. I've done reinstalls before and read about the -image but i'm not totally sure on how to do it. Could anyone give the quick step by steps on copying the folder over and where to do the -image? Thanks for the help. Here's praying for good things with Vista

Ok, I've actually now written this out on notepad so I can copy and paste it...
Firstly, make a copy of the Guild Wars icon on your desktop
Right click on the copy icon and goto Properties.
In the properties window, in the Target box you should see: "D:\Games\Guild Wars\Gw.exe" or similar depending on where you installed the game
Now add -image after that so it reads: "D:\Games\Guild Wars\Gw.exe" -image
now apply the changes, and double click the icon you just made to start the image cycle
As an added reccomendation, click and drag that icon into the startup folder in your Start menu and it will automatically check for updates when you load up windows, don't worry though, it doesn't hog any resources as its just the client updater

In vista, in the "My Games" of the start menu.
GuildWars will show up in the game list, if you right click, you can add 4 or 5 custom versions of the shortcut off the main icon.
The effect is, click on the game to launch, or right click and choose and launch "switch" you want, such as image after you set them up.
