+#Oni does not create any important registry entries (just [[Talk:Installation#Registry|this one]]). An installation of Oni consists of just the "Oni" folder; this makes it easy to back up Oni before experimenting with it.
 #Retail versions of Oni sometimes check for the installation CD. You can get rid of the CD check using the Oni.exe that gets installed automatically by the [[AE]] (found [[Customizing#CD_check|here]]). Otherwise, you need to have an Oni CD in the drive in order to play (any CD will do as long as its volume name is "ONI").
-#If Oni.exe is opened by double-clicking it or its shortcut, it first looks for the GameDataFolder in the same directory as the EXE. If Oni.exe is launched from the command line, it first looks for the "GDF" in the directory of the command or .bat that called it. Wherever it starts looking, Oni will also look for a folder in that directory called "OniEngine" and look inside there too for a GameDataFolder. If neither location contains the GDF, Oni progressively checks the parent directories, all the way up to C:\ if necessary, looking for the GDF (or an OniEngine folder with the GDF inside) at each level.
