Default UAC - File Virtualization (VirtualStore missing)

I would be very disappointed if this was the case.
Are there any Path variables or registry objects File Virtualization uses
that I can check, such as the path of %LocalAppData%.
I have confirmed that secpol shows UAC File & registry Virtualization to be
enabled, it just doesn't appear to be doing it's job. There is no
VirtualStore folder and additionally no events in the UAC-FileVirtualization
event log.

I wouldn't be one bit surprised if there is code that looks for a language
specific version of %homedrive%\users and that is what causes virtualization
to break.

Your question may already be answered in Windows Vista Security:

I’m currently troubleshooting a problem with UAC - File Virtualization in
Vista SP1. File Virtualization is not working in Vista and is breaking some
applications that previously tested good. The difference with this build is
that the C:\User folder has now been relocated to the D:\User. It now seems
that Vista is not creating the VirtualStore Folder & and respective
sub-folders under %LocalAppData% (which is pointing to the correct path on
D:\). I’m wondering if Virtualization has some known problems if the User
Data folders have been relocated, and if there’s something I can do.
