Hi Jim,
First, my apologies for singling you out. In the future if I have an 
issue I will write you off list privately rather than publically making 
a statement as I have done. That will save not only end user confusion, 
but you and I can hopefully work together towards a common goal rather 
than becoming disagreeable with each other.
There is however one issue I'd like to bring up as this effects 
everyone, and not just you and I.

the vast majority of people who play accessible games are not going to 
set up and
run multiple user accounts as you have done and thus they will not have 
the problems
with my games as you have been posting about on the list.

You are probably right about that, but it doesn't change the fact they 
are going against excepted security standards. Any network 
administrator, Microsoft security adviser, etc will tell you that 
running a Windows 2000, XP, or Vista machine as administrator all the 
time is just bad security polacy.
That is why from Windows 2000 on they have offered local Application 
Data folders, specific to each user, so that every game, program, etc 
can save program settings to the user's local  directories rather than 
granting access to high risk areas such as
c:\Program Files.
All I am trying to do here is point out how the professional industry is 
moving by installing settings to the User's local Application Data 
folder rather than to a games local folder. Yes, I understand totally 
why everyone has saved directly to the games root folder, but that is 
simply not how things are suppose to be done any more. Especially, when 
a user wants to have multiple user accounts.

I should not get started on how much and badly you have put down my 
choice of programming
language...

Look I will not apologise for stating the truth. Visual Basic 6 is a 
very old out dated technology. It is being slowly taken out of use by 
Microsoft. They are attempting to draw developers away from that older 
technology, and attempting to roll with the change.I'm very sorry I 
agree with them, and stated so.
It is very clear no one in the blind development comunity cares. Ok, I 
will shut up about it, and everyone can stay with Visual Basic until 
doomsday. I won't discuss it any more.
