Some while back a post on these forums instructed how to turn off the intro movies to WitE. I recently reinstalled the game due to computer issues and forgot how to do this. Anyone remember or point me to the thread?

Errr...I am sure it won't help much, but you rename some folder to something else and that does the trick!

(edit - I aim to please, I just aim very, very poorly)

Ok, I think I figured it out with help from PDH. Looks like if you rename the Video file the intro movie is out--although, this also likely causes the end of game videos to cease as well...oh well, not a total loss.
Thanks!

Try this:
Remove the 2 following files from the Video folder, and place them somewhere in a backup folder
2x3intro
matrixintro

I rename the "Video" folder to "NoVideo."

See, my advice was dead on. If the target is the size of a city I can always hit it by the 2nd try.
