Here's a rundown of my experience with the program:
1. changed install directory to d:\documents\minion
2. downloaded mods, ran eso, no mods present
3. checked addons folder, no mods present
4. uninstalled minion, deleted .minion from d:\documents
5. reinstalled minion in default directory
6. checked minion's addons download directory, was writing to d:\documents\documents\eso\live\addons
7. manually removed one of the /documents/ from the line, quit, restarted minion, change did not save
8. used the browser to change the addons directory, quit, restarted minion
9. minion now hangs forever with a loading bar
10. uninstalled minion, deleted users\me\.minion
11. repeated 5-9

Now for the worst part:
12. started ESO, login now hangs at "connecting to server"

My users\documents folder is moved at the OS level to d:\documents because I use an SSD, which lots of people do. It looks like Minion gets really confused by this and can't accurately find the addons folder.

I don't want to be one of those people who blames all their problems on the last thing they installed, but Minion was literally the only thing I changed in my system that converted my working ESO game into a dead one. What does the program change that could have done this? (deleting my entire live folder, locales, programdata, and repairing installation didn't fix it either)
