Is root directory a protected data area?
Is the root directory of the windows/system drive a protected area in
Vista or Win7? I have an early recollection of that being the case, or at least of having trouble updating files there, but I can't find it online. All I can find on this is "In short, UAC monitors a list of “protected” folders and registry locations (\Program Files, \Program Files (x86), \Windows, and HKLM\Software); any time an application attempts to write to one of those locations, it redirects the attempt to the user’s “virtual store”." - See more at: http://www.blackbaudknowhow.com/tech....ORUyWKRR.dpuf
