Well, you can *install* there, but once installed you can't write back to the file(s) in the Program Files folder, so Vista copies the file to the VirtualStore and makes the change on *that* file instead. > So using your example above as a template, I should be able to create > a series of VirtualStore paths to check?

I've only seen this with Program Files and registry entries so far. > Would it also create the folder I created to put the prefs in? Or > would it just create the prefs files? It would mimic the path you used in a relative way. That is, suppose you installed a file in Program Files/MyApp/Support/MyFile.txt. When you went to write the file, it would be virtualized to ...VirtualStore/Program Files/MyApp/Support/MyFile.txt. Ken Ray Sons of Thunder Software, Inc.
