Created a new folder using Save As Dialog, but it does not show up

Hello

I'm using the Save As Dialog in my .NET application running on Vista. When
i use this dialog to create a new folder and save my file to it, the
application knows where this file is. However, if I use the Window's
Explorer window to then try and view this new folder, it doesn't show up!
Why is this? This seems like a bug in Vista....

Hello,

This sounds like you are attempting to save a file to a security-restricted
area, such as program files or windows, and Vista is "virtualizing" the file
by copying it to a folder inside your user profile so that your application
will not fail.

You can find the folder/file in this folder:

c:\users\username\appdata\local\virtualstore\

Or, if you go to the folder inside explorer, there may be a button on the
toolbar entitled "Show compatability files" - clicking this button will
allow you to see these files.

If you are the developer for this application, it should be modified to be
vista-compliant by including a manifest. This will prevent it from being
"virtualized" in this manner.
