Just wondering if anyone is doing this. I hate having the Obliv disk in my laptop spinning up all the time; don't need all that wear and tear, so I used Alchohol 120% to make an image of the disk. At first the regular desktop shortcut did not work without the disk but since I did not quit the Alcohol program after making the image I double clicked on the MDS Oblivion icon still in the Alchohol window after it made the image, since I figured the MDS file was the image. Well Oblivion worked without the disk and somehow the vanilla desktop icon kicked in after that and is now working. I guess all the icon needed was for me to prime the pump so to speak. I shudda did this long ago. Shivering Isles works without the disk too. Cool....
Edit: Someone let me know that this is easier:
