I just had another round of Vista protecting me from anything useful.

I made a quick program straight from the VFP9 command prompt, which puts the program in c:\program files\microsoft visual foxpro 9 folder.

Nothing new there.

Then I went to copy the file to another folder using explorer.

Guess what - not there.

VFP still shows it (modi comm ? and up pops c:\program files\microsoft visual foxpro 9 folder view with my program in it which I can open).

Not there if I go there with a command prompt. Not there with Explorer. Not there if I look at my C drive from a remote machine.

Virtualized somewhere. The only way I can get to the program from other than the VFP9 developer environment is to open it in VFP9 and save it to a different folder.

Pi$$ on Vista. My laptop is finally getting upgraded to XP next weekend.

No Craig. Don't bother defending it.
