READ AND WRITE FOLDER FOR EVERYBODY
Hi,
I'm building a VB application with installer. Well I want that after the administrator installation it creates a files and folders and if I run that application logged as user I dont want that vista copies my files to VirtualStore folder...I want the same path where all the users can write. I just used the path c:\ProgramData\MySoftware\... but it doesnt work...VISTA creates another folder under VirtualStore folder. Thank u in advance, Davide

Try this.
Open an administrator command prompt and navigate to the folder. Type attrib -r *.* and press Enter. Or open an administrator command prompt. Type [path] attrib -r *.* and press Enter.
