Install Directory[edit]Where you installed Oblivion to. Contains game and launcher executables, and TESCS (CS4) mod editor
English Default: Program FilesBethesda SoftworksOblivion
Oblivion_default.ini[edit]The default version of the file saved to your game configuration.
Note: This seems to be the only ini file with such a prototype. I.e., neither Blend.ini nor ConstructionSet.ini have matching default files.
Data Directory[edit]Oblivion's shared data files, including: mod data files, BSA archives, separate resource files (meshes, textures, etc.)
English Default:Install DirectoryData
Location determined by SLocalMasterPath in Oblivion.ini, which is 'Data' by default.
Application Data[edit]English Default: Documents and SettingsUSERLocal SettingsApplication DataOblivion
More generally: LOCALAPPDATAOblivionProgrammers can get the value of LOCALAPPDATA using the SHGetFolderPath API function. The registry should not be used the get the value of LOCALAPPDATA.
Users can open the folder by entering %USERPROFILE%Local SettingsApplication DataOblivion into Start>Run
Note that this is typically a hidden folder. In Explorer, use Tools: Folder Options: View: Hidden Files and Folders to reveal hidden folders.
DLCList.txt[edit]This file is used by Oblivion to keep track of your downloaded content.
After the header, downloaded content is listed??
Plugins.txt[edit]This file is used to tell Oblivion which data files to load.
After the header, selected plugins are listed in (case insensitive) alphabetical order.
My Games[edit]English Default: Documents and SettingsUSERMy DocumentsMy GamesOblivion
More generally: PERSONALMy GamesOblivionNote that 'My Games' does not localize.
Programmers can use the aforementioned SHGetFolderPath API function to get the value of PERSONAL. As above, the registry should not be used.
BlendSettings.ini[edit]Seems to be a subset of game configuration, related to hit handling for combat.
ConstructionSet.ini[edit]Construction Set (CS4) configuration.
Oblivion.ini[edit]Game configuration.
EditorWarnings.txt[edit]Log of warnings from current session of CS4 Editor.
RendererInfo.txt[edit]Programmer-oriented data dump about the current GPU model, driver version and some important graphics settings in the game. The PC version of the game contains a lot of code to support different graphics hardware, and this dump tells a developer which parts of that internal code is currently being used for rendering.
DLCList.txt[edit]According to the file itself 'This file is used by Oblivion to keep track of your downloaded content. Please do not modify this file.'
The file goes on to list the ESPs you have purchased in a consecutive list much like Oblivion.ini/Oblivion_default.ini.
Saves[edit]You save games as ess files.
English Default:My GamesSaves
Location determined by SLocalSavePath in Oblivion.ini, which is 'Saves' by default.Note: There is also a bUseMyGamesDirectory setting in Oblivion.ini, changing this has an effect only if the value of PERSONAL has been changed from its default value.
autosave.ess: Your autosave file.
autosave.bak: Your immediately previous autosave file.Presumably you could revert to this if the latest autosave is bad.

Controls can be remapped using the 'Controls' menu available under 'Options':

On PC, hit Esc, then select 'Options'
On PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, click the Start button, then select 'Options'
Xbox 360 Controller for Windows[edit]It is possible to use an Xbox 360 controller (or any controller which supports Xinput) to play Oblivion under Windows. However, the controller does not include any software to map the controller buttons and Oblivion does not recognize the left or right trigger buttons. This guide will get you up and running with this controller.
Setup[edit]Install this mod. Do not run the application, simply install the .esp. This is so that the controls using for scrolling in the game menu do not change your perspective while walking.
Download and install JoyToKey. It is recommended to keep a profile with no mappings for when you do not wish to use JoyToKey.
Copy and paste the following into a file named Oblivion.cfg and save it in your JoyToKey folder. This setup is designed to be especially useful for UI mods which were designed for keyboard and mouse.
For this control scheme to work, some keys must be remapped from inside Oblivion. This is easier to do when the JoyToKey profile is disabled.Go to the Mouse Controls, click on Attack, and hit ESC to un-map it. Do the same for Block. In Keyboard Controls, map Attack to the M button.
Also in Keyboard Controls, change Run from L-shift to ] (right bracket).
In Gamepad Controls, unmap the Attack and Block buttons. Remap Activate to the X button, Ready Weapon to the LB button, Cast to the RB button, Sneak to the left stick button, Jump to the Y button, Change View to the right stick button, Journal to the B button, Wait to the Back button, and Grab to the A button.
In JoyToKey, click on 'Preferences', select 'Associate profiles with applications...', and select 'Add'. Under 'Application Name' put 'Oblivion', under 'Application Path' put 'Oblivion.exe', and under 'Associated Profile' select 'Oblivion'. It is recommended that under 'Default behavior' you select 'Specify a default profile' and select the aforementioned profile with no mappings. This way the Oblivion profile will be run when you are playing Oblivion and at no other time.
Set JoyToKey to run on startup. It can be useful to set JoyToKey to hide from the taskbar while minimized, in the preferences menu.
These are the controls:
