You can adjust the behavior on the Program Files hierarchy of folders - you can adjust the security permissions for individual accounts and groups (obviously, only with an Admin or Account Operator account; Win2K and WinXP are protective of the Windows system directories, to the point that even an Admin account can't update certain types of files in certain folders except through the Windows Installer technology. If you mess in these directories without using the install APIs. You can easily relocate the tables to a user folder and adjust the locations in File Locations under the Tools-Options menu point.
