After I am done installing EQ, i double click the EQexe on my desktop; then it starts to patch, but it doesn't give me an option to cancel patching so i can select what expansions it updates. Any ideas?

The way the patcher works now is a pain. It updates all files automatically (takes a while the first time due to their new launchpad thing). *After* that, from the website (because I'm lazy & don't want to type it all),
*** Update Page ***
Once you log in, you’ll be directed to the update page. A scan of your game files will automatically be done and it will download any new files. Once the download is completed, the world Play will appear and the words Update Complete will appear below it.
On the right you’ll see a list of the Game Update Notes. On the left, you’ll see additional options that you can adjust.
- My Account: Now that you have logged in, this option will automatically display information about your EverQuest subscription and give you options to make changes to it.
-Game Options: This option will let you set up your video card, select which detailed character models you want displayed, and select engine settings based on your computer’s memory status. You do not need to make these changes unless you experience problems running the game.
-Preferences: This allows you to enable Background Downloading. This will download files for future large publishes (such as a new expansion) in the background a little bit at a time while your machine is idle so you never have to wait for a huge patch on release day again.
-Purchase Expansions: If you do not own all of the expansions, this option will take you to the Station Store page so that you can purchase them for download.
-Full Scan: This option runs a full scan of your files to make sure that they are all updated.
-Update Log: This displays a log of the files that are downloaded with the current update.
-Upgrade Textures: This will upgrade the textures for some of the old world zones. This will result in approximately a 600MB download and the act is irreversible. You will only see this button if you currently do not have the upgraded version of the textures.
While I have an active live account, due to the fact you can screw with more stuff just from logging in via the patcher, it won't be shared, sorry.
