Note: Using this small program you can change the amount of money
and bounty for the first car in your garage during the career play. Besides, you can rename your alias what means that the prog will rename the corresponding directory and file, then it will replace alias occurrences in the savefile with the text entered. This feature can be useful because it is not
implemented in the game itself, so the only way to do that is to create a new profile/alias and replay the game from the beginning.

The save file is changed directly, but there is no need to quit the game, 'cause it caches your current profile in memory during play. Thus the only thing you have to do is to reload the modified profile in the game.

At startup the program will initialize in the default savegame folder (My DocumentsNFS Most Wanted) for the logged on user. But you can select a different folder using the "Browse" button or re-read current by pressing the "Update" button.

This program is distributed "AS IS" what means that the author is not responsible for any damage to your savefiles or any other case of misoperation due to the (probably wrong) usage of that program. So, make a backup copy of your savegames.
