I downloaded the Renegade Tools and replaced it with the newest version by JohnWil from the Renhelp.net "Getting Started" page.
Then I decided to poke around in some existing levels, so I got LevelRedit. After converting a .mix file or two, opening them up, and becoming supremely confused, I decided that it's better to start at the beginning. So I tried to find the files that LevelRedit had converted.
Here's the problem: I can't see them. I know they're there; File->Open... shows them in the LevelEdit directory, but when I use Windows Explorer, there's nothing. What's up with that?

It is very Easy.
Vista doesnt save any data in the program files folder ->
You goto your userfolder->appdata->local->virtualstore->program files (x86) (or normal depends on 64bits)
Then goto your renegadetools. If you want to avoid this just install renegadetools on your c: and NOT in program files.
Good luck

It doesn't write there because it's not supposed to. Previous versions of Windows were so affected by viruses and malicious programs due to the lack of security which has been reworked considerably in Vista. It's just that some programs depend on the lax security so they had to add the "Compatibility Files" system to write files where they could be written for sure.
