Vista Reminders

UAC impact on applications not allowed to update c:\program Files\..

If you're running Vista (probably windows 7 as well) and have user account control turned on, then programs are not permitted to modify files under C:\Program Files or C:\Program Files (x86).

If they do so, the modified files appear instead at C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\..

Example:

C:\Users\theboy\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\DipTrace\Lib

C:\Users\theboy\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\WS_FTP
