If you don't have UAC turned on, no virtualization.

BUT, if you did have UAC turned on at one time (when file virtualization would be on), then turned it off, problems galore. Suddenly, VFP will "find" files it couldn't find before, and vice-versa.

>>Are you sure it was written there? Did you check by reading the value back from the Registry? If so, then you've been fooled by virtualization into thinking the value was written there, but in fact it wasn't. If you check with RegEdit, you'll find that the value in fact doesn't exist where you think it is but instead was virtualized to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\VirtualStore\Machine.
