I haven't had any problems like this at all, so I don't necessarily think it's something wrong with the character builder. Unless you're reinstalling it from scratch each month, there shouldn't really be a problem. It could be something with your settings, or your file tables or even your OS- I don't really know what would make it add 'a thousand folders' unless you told it to add your entire my documents directory or something.

Unless you're reinstalling it from scratch each month, there shouldn't really be a problem. I haven't had a problem with it adding the entire My Documents tree to the folder list, but yes, the CB definitely does forget the default save directory after every update.  It also forgets the skip title screen option.  I assume it just sets everything back to default.
#5 hvg3akaek Oct 13, 2009 1:51:18	well, at least part of the problem isn't unique!   I guess its a full reinstall for me, then!
#6 dm_raven Oct 13, 2009 12:28:10	Hey Hvg, Thanks for bringing this to our attention.  I'll forward this to our team and see if we can figure out what happened.  I'll also forward along your suggestion for keeping the save settings from patch to patch.  Sorry about the inconvenience. =/
