RE: folder virtualisation

Hi Ashnah,

This is a frequently asked question while working under Non-Admin account.
Normally, there are 2 solutions, lowing the security setting of your data
directory or coding a high privilege process for writing to the protected
data directory, see my original replies in the 2 threads below for details:

Actually, I highly recommend coding a separate high privilege process,
since it is the design employed by various Microsoft products. By lowing
the DACL security setting of your directory, you throws away the gift of
Vista security model.

Hope this helps.
