Hi Care, and welcome to our little corner of the world. Congratulations on getting yourself up and running - we all like to help those who can help themselves
Yes!Would it work if I made a seperate WOW folder with other settings? And if so, would keyclone still work for instances of wow started from diffrent folders?
This is pretty much the standard MO for sharing instances on a single machine - one copy for the main, and one copy for however many drones you have.
KC will either launch WoW for you (and position the windows), in which case you just have to tell it to launch from your drone directory, or it will add applications by window name. Either way, it's entirely agnostic as to where the executable comes from.
There's anecdotal evidence that running more than one WoW from a single directory may cause any one of a number of reported problems, but I've been running that way for the past 6 months, with both XP and Vista, and haven't had a problem yet.
One of the other big advantages of having separate "main" and "drone" installations is that you can still easily play any of your characters solo, on your "main" installation, because key bindings are instance-specific. If you use macros for all your spells, as many do for some reason, that gain if offset, but it's still a consideration for some of us.
Enjoy![]()
