| In Vista, c:\Program Files is a protected system area. Directly writing
| files here is going to give some results that you might not find to your
| liking. Note that this directory is owned by 'Trusted Installer'.
Generally
| I have found that you can create subdirectories and store files, but you
| cannot 'change' them as expected. instead 'shadow' copies of the changes
are
| saved and used in individual user areas.
