Copy your entire Silent Hunter 4 Install folder to another location (make sure and change all your desktop shortcuts to reflect the folder change. Good idea to rename them, too, so they don't get overwritten later). Use MultiSH4 to change the name of the folder used for saved games to something other than SH4 and rename your My Documents\SH4 folder to something other than SH4 (you only have 3 characters to work with. I'm planning on using S for the first character, the last digit of the version number for the second character and S (for stock), M (for modded), T (for test), M (for TM), R (for RFB) or some other character to denote differences for the third character.

Then, so you start with a fresh install, uninstall SH4 (it will uninstall from the original location) and reinstall and patch to the version you want to use. If you want to keep a stock version, copy the newly patched install folder somewhere (like .....Silent Hunter 4 v1.5 Stock) and use MultiSH4 in that install folder to assign the folder where you want saved games stored.

Oh, yeah, and don't forget to buy a new hard drive so that when you have 12 different installs, you'll have someplace to put them:rotfl:
