[RM2K3] PHANTOM SAVE FILES?

I've come across a weird and interesting problem. I deleted all the .lsd save files in my project (Rm2k3), yet when I go to test play it, there are still a couple of save slots that are still remembering the save files. Does anyone know how to permanently get rid of them?

This has to be one of the most unusual problems I have ever heard of.

Have you tried maybe saving over the the slots that aren't going away and then deleting the new LSD files?

Yeah, that's the first thing I tried. Initially save slot 4 and 6 were the only culprits. I tried saving over them and seeing if a new .lsd file would show up, but no such luck. I even tried saving in slot 1 and seeing if that would create an .lsd file, but it didn't either! I can load the game from any of these files but I have no idea how Rm2k3 is remembering them since I can't find the .lds anywhere on my computer. It's so weird.

EDIT: A new development. I tried copying and pasting the entire project folder to my desktop and running the game from there. When I did all the save slots were empty and I was unable to load any files. Good. HOWEVER the game seems to have changed the start hero position to a map that doesn't even exist in the original game anymore (a test map). I have no idea how that is even possible since I deleted that map a while ago.

I think I know what the problem is. Administrator settings. Damn you Windows 7! I looked at the settings of RPG2003.exe and it turns out that Run as Administrator was not ticked. Once I ticked it and ran the problem my project reverted back to some weeks ago - maps that I've deleted returned, new maps I've made since then have disappeared, etc. To get them back I unticked Run as Administrator and magically got my project back.

So, my big problem now is that if I try running the project outside the project folder it reverts back to the game weeks ago.. I'm assuming this will happen to anyone I will send the game to as well. So now I need to figure out how to get my up-to-date project synced with the admin settings. Anyone have any ideas?
