Yes, I use the SH3 Commander shortcut to load the game every time, first patrol or not. Every time.

...help SH3 Commander work correctly with GWX3.0.

Good to know

(From the GWX Support Page): You can run optional tools like SH3 Commander, JSGME, SH3Gen, etc. provided you run them as an 'Administrator' after you have installed them.

I think I forgot to do this the last few times I tried GWX. I assume I need to also check the admin box in SH3.EXE as well? Or will Commander automatically spawn SH3.EXE with admin privileges? I assume it probably doesnt matter, but it's best to know before doing this clean install again. I think at least some of the "game weirdness" I was experiencing before may have been a part of that. Most of the time I hate it when programs like disk defraggers auto-spawn web browsers with admin priv due to security, but in this situation it wouldnt bother me. (I run my stuff in a Vista User Account)
