<DIV><SPAN class=277430201-14072006><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I
have a small stand alone utility program, for convenience and simple
installation and copying to another PC I install everything into the same
folder (by default not under program files eg C:\AboutTime, and the user
can choose where) - programs/ INI file/data all in the same folder, as
its only about 10 small files all up, and nothing installed elsewhere.
Under XP this works fine as long as the user has rights to create the folder
when installing.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=277430201-14072006><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff

it enforces no data under the Programs folder. Does it enforce no
programs outside of the programs folder?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
