That's worth a try. Thanks. I think this is a good one for the Feature
Request list :-)
Actually.... It's a can of worms. AFAIKT if a user has UAC turned on the
virtual storage will activate. If the user turns UAC off they can no longer
get the reference to the file. If they then turn UAC back on they get an
entirely different virtual storage file. Micro$oft provide the virtual
storage purely for legacy software so it doesn't "break". However it is a
band aid and there are no guarantees it will be there in future Windows
versions. Better to use the designated folders such as provided by the
SpecialFolderPath function. Even writing to the root directory
(C:\MyProgramsName) is no longer recommended as it is suggested it is the
next place Microsoft will "lock down". This is the price we Windows users
pay for using a system that was never designed to be secure.
