You know how on your computer there is user account control where it asks for the administrator password? Well I turned that off and started Docking Station only to find my precious worlds have dissapeared. I looked in my files for any other issues but all my agents etc. where still installed as if nothing had happened... Can you explain this? Another thing that bugged me is that my exported creatures from my old worlds don't show up in this new world's (I had to make a new world to use the game) export folder ! Help! What can I do to save my worlds!?

Did you try checking the C\Users\[your user account]\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Docking Station path?
I remember turning User Account Control off for the first time and nearly having a heart attack because it stopped looking in VirtualStore for certain files my Sims game had been using, so they didn't show up when I tried to play. This is probably what happened to you. VirtualStore targets files created by the program itself, so for worlds and exports to be missing but agents to be presentis exactly what you would expect to see.
If you find them there, you can just drag them into the real C\Program Files\Docking Station directory and your computer will count them as perfectly normal, valid files--and they'll show up in your game.
If you can't find them, try turning User Account Control back on.

Nope... (My computer hates me nothing is ever anywhere it should be)
I'll just have to turn it back on!
Edit: Yeah that worked but it sucks cuz I hate user acc control...

I know, me too! But if you're still willing to try to make it work, you could try looking for your files now that UAC is back on. If you can find them, you can still move everything to the real folders and then turn UAC off.
