I looked at how the XML file values are used for those directories, and unless there's some trickery I'm not seeing, it's hardcoded and the values from the config file aren't used at all.

To test, I changed the config value for the quests directory to "questsdasdfasdf" and it still loaded them from "quests".

Alright, I'll mess around with those files then for now. I'll post back if I find it out.

If you are using Windows 7 (and maybe Vista), you could try messing with NTFS junctions.

Move your quests folder from C:\EQ\quests to C:\Open\quests, then in a command prompt, create the junction:
Code:
C:\EQ>mklink /J quests c:\open\quests
Junction created for quests <<===>> c:\open\quests
Then any request for a file in C:\EQ\quests should be redirected to C:\Open\quests

Just Google NTFS junction, or Windows Junction for more info on their use. They look very similar to symlinks in the *nix world.
