Inside that dir there is a folder EverQuestII, and all the installed files are located there. Highlight the folder, right click, and copy. Once this is done head over to the root of your hard drive this is C:\. Once there create a folder and name it EQ2Emu clients. Highlight the folder you just created, right click, and paste.
