If someone does know how, just give me your Windows Messenger and we can talk through there about it...alot easier than talking through threads.

Start Menu -> Run
Type "charmap" and press enter.

From the character map you can select and copy the different characters you would like to use in your name. Once you have done so, navigate to your ArmageTron folder and then the "var" folder. Finally, open the user.cfg file and edit the name associated with "player_1", typing/pasting in your new name with the funky characters. Save the file, and then open the game and proceed to play.

Enjoy.

You are in the wrong place. =( It sounds as though you are in the start menu folder for the game. That's why you are only seeing link files.

Instead, go to Program Files\ArmageTron (or whatever you named it upon installing). From here you can enter the var folder and edit the proper file.

Of course, using the command prompt works fine, but if it's easier you can browse using Explorer. I cringe when writing "folder" because I'm a DOS Fan, but some people don't know what a "directory" is so... tried to be clear. Heh.

"Uhh.. What's DOS?"

Take it easy. Let me know if you need any more help.
