[DUG] Vista and Ini files

[Alan Rose]

I think anyone who is thinking of going against the tide by bypassing or
sidestepping the new security features with Vista should think twice.
File virtualization (FV) for system folders and registry are only there
for legacy support. Eventually MS will turn FV and other legacy features
off and may find yourself with a broken app. Any executable with
"update" or "install" in its name automatically gets the run as admin
applied, again another MS legacy feature to help you migrate to Vista. I
am willing to bet some people have installed their app on Vista found
that it works due to FV and think that's the end of the story.  My
advice is not to look for ways to beat the system but make those changes
now to place your files in the correct locations (well documented on the
net) so there will be no surprises later with future OS upgrades.
