moving boxes

Yes, they are the x and y offset from that point. You could try setting them to values to see how they look. x if I remember right go positive left to right and y negative top to bottom. The left comments are the tooltips point and the worldframes point to anchor. For example changing them to CENTER and CENTER will put the tooltip in the dead center of the screen

Before changing any files though you might want to try Scotts other suggestion and see if other option settings doesn't get kept.

From what I can tell only two things could be happening 1. Its the vista permission thing but that seems out of place since your not saved to C:/public 2. Something is being left over somewhere, have you ever used an auto updater from curse or any of the other sites? If so sometimes they save files in strange places, to me that seems like the issue, it's as if you have a saved variable files that you are not seeing you may want to make sure you have all files visible in your files options for vista it"s just the only thing that makes sense to me.

Taking a further look into the code, I see this:

if GameTooltip.fCache and nUI_Options.tooltips == "fixed" or not owner or owner == UIParent then

		tooltip:Hide();
		
		local overlay = GameTooltip.fCache.overlay;
		
		nUI_SavedTooltip_SetOwner( tooltip, owner or UIParent, "ANCHOR_NONE" );
		
		tooltip:ClearAllPoints();

		tooltip:SetPoint( "BOTTOMRIGHT", UIParent, "BOTTOMLEFT", overlay:GetRight(), overlay:GetBottom() );

	elseif nUI_Options.tooltips == "mouse" then
		
		tooltip:ClearAllPoints();
		
		if tooltip == GameTooltip then
			nUI_SavedTooltip_SetOwner( tooltip, UIParent, "ANCHOR_CURSOR" );
		else
			tooltip:SetParent( UIParent, "ANCHOR_CURSOR" );
		end

And that referenced lines of code seem to be mixed up. How can the SetPoint be both the BOTTOMLEFT and BOTTOMRIGHT.

Or am I using logic where logic shouldnt be used?

It's not in both places... it is setting the bottom right corner of the tooltip to a point that is relative to the bottom left corner of the user interface (UIParent) setting it overlay:GetRight() (a distance in screen units) from the left edge and overlay:GetBottom() (also a distance in screen units) from the bottom edge of the user interface

Think of it like this...

xOffset = overlay:GetRight()
yOffset = overlay:GetBottom()
anchorPointOnTooltip = "BOTTOMRIGHT"
anchorPointOnUserInterface = "BOTTOMLEFT"
userInterface = UIParent

tooltip:SetPoint( anchorPointOnTooltip, userInterface, anchorPointOnUserInterface, xOffset, yOffset )
