I installed and have been happily using Garretloader for quite a while now, but I just today went to play "The cradle" over again, and TDS shows that I have no saved games. Not understanding. This is the first time I have tried to play TDS since I installed Garretloader BTW.
I seem to recall something about it moving my saved game files or something when I installed, but that was so long ago, I don't recall what exactly anymore. How do I fix this? I don't want to play the whole game over, just a few levels from save files...
It may also have been Thief3Loader, I really have no idea at this point. I have all of my save files. I just want to know where they go, and what the log/ini files are supposed to point to.
And no, I can't find this in the stickies or search. For some reason I can't find anything about how to SET the default folder for TDS saved games.

I gave up on all that. A better question (and more to the point) is how do I point the game back at Mydocuments blah blah blah for the save game files?
I expect I will probably figure this out before anyone answers, but if anyone does within the next 20 minutes or so I would appreciate it.
*edit*
Ok, I edited default.ini to point at C:\Documents and Settings etc etc, but when I boot up TDS it STILL insists on creating a directory for saves at E:\Program Files\Thief - Deadly Shadows\saves
and STILL won't register the ones under C:\Documents and Settings etc etc
I can't move them all to E:\Program Files\Thief - Deadly Shadows\saves because my E: drive has less than 100mbs free on it, and I would have to delete programs and games to make space for the freakin save files. Is there some registry entry involved here?
*edit*
The answer is yes. There is a frickin registry entry involved. The default save game path for TDS is stored in the registry. Can someone make note of that in the "Thief Series FAQ (Technical / Purchasing / Etc.)" sticky right under "Where does Thief III put save games?" so anyone else needing to change their TDS default save game directory doesn't have to spend 3 hours pointlessly digging around the forums pulling their hair out like I just have?
It's under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>SOFTWARE>Ion Storm>Thief - Deadly Shadows>SaveGamePath
At least on my machine anyway. It could potentially have a different last two branches depending on installation directory names I suppose but I doubt it.
*edit*
OMG, so now I find the info 3-4 days later under (
