Game data

Configuration file(s) location

The path may vary since it appears to be related with the variable "DOCUMENTS_AND_SETTINGS_FOLDER=" in the INSTALL.INI used by the installer. The root folder (in this case "Brother Bear") may also vary since it uses the localized name of the game (e.g.: in the Brazilian retail, the root folder would be "Irmão Urso"). If the variable has no value, it will use the ProgramData folder as below:
System Location
Windows %PROGRAMDATA%\Disney Interactive\Brother Bear\System[Note 1]
