I believe you can turn off folder virtualization, correct?
I think the best course of action would be to tell clients to make sure folder (and registry?) virtualization are turned off. That way you'll at least get error messages and know what is going on when you application is working with its files. I think Ted had a series of questions about this a while back too. I'm not sure how he ended up. I think we may start recommending to our users to NOT install the application in the "Program Files" folder. Anymore, it seems system-setup done according to "MS recommendations" just causes problems (if you're not MS that is). It used to be you just had to avoid MS recommendations on database and application development... but I see they've expanded well into system configuration as well (oh, and the Internet stuff too with the always-turned-off-useless-piece-of-crap Windows Firewall). :-) -Charlie _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
