[DUG] Vista help

[Robert martin]

Hi

I think it depends !  I think there are some issues with Vista.  
Virtualization is supposed to let you write to those directories.

As an asside, any chance of a code snippet on how you are setting the 
ACL.  I tried doing this on a network share with very little success.  I 
managed to make the folder un deletable but full access otherwise !
