Windows 7 "Compatibility Files"

first.... WHERE is the folder in question... is it a subdirectory of the installation directory (program files...) or user directory? or elsewhere?

okay... the gist.... remember when you first ran XP and tried to view the program files and it asked you if you really wanted to do that? It was part of the first steps trying to move people away from using the program files as read-write-update-add data systems. The primary reason is for security, you don't want your programs free run of the system directories. Under vista and above they cannot be "upgraded" to administrator on the fly. The preferred way is with "run as administrator" even though you are administrator, your user account still can't run willy nilly through the OS directory structure. Root system drive, Windows, and program files are off limits withought explicit upgraded privlidges (as apposed to implicit given by your login) -- i.e. you have to ask for the ability. There are cheats that work well, for instance creating a shortcut to a job schedule that runs your project can give admin privledges once a login ID is assigned to the task.
