>>>I do 2 things (and have never had your problem on Win7). Both are in the shortcut I use to start VFP. First, I put the startup directory in a non-secure place (i.e., outside program files or program files (x86) on x64). I have a directory with libraries in sub-directories, and use the root as a sandbox of sorts, so that's what I set as the Default directory. Second, under Compatibility, I set the Run As Administrator checkbox.
