One of the "less anticipated" side effects of Vista's protection of the Programs Folder is that I now see some programs instructing users to NOT choose the Program Files folder for the program installation. For instance, use the root C drive directory, which means the program can do all the things it used to be able to under XP. Completely bypasses why M$ did the directory protection but I have seen it used more than once!
