I thought I'd add a cool extension to an old game which
involves loading and saving levels into a bunch of files in the
appdrive$ + appdir$ directory, a trick I read in .ini tutorials.
Using RUN, everything works fine, but building the project in MMF1.2 and running the executable makes appdir$ into the useless: \documents&settings\myname\temp\random
Any ideas?

OK, Yves himself has supplied the workaround on the clickteam forums...

OK, workaround if you want to retrieve the directory of the all-in-one exe file:
When you run an all-in-one project, it creates a temporary directory, extracts the application files to this directory and then creates a _del.log file which contains the list of files to uninstall. This file is a text file and the second line contains the source directory, preceded by "source:"
How to retrieve this directory:
1) Add a List object to your frame.
2) Add an event "Start of frame", and make the List object to load the following file: Appdrive$ + Appdir$ + "_del.log".
3) You can retrieve the source directory with the following expression:
Right$( List Line Text$( "List", 2 ), Len( List Line Text$( "List", 2 ) ) - 7 )
A little complicated, but that works.
Yves.
