I haven't had the dubious pleasure to play with Vista myself, but I've heard that it (semi-)automatically places files that applications write to and that previously were located in the application directory into a directory under the Application Data directory in the user's home directory (C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\<application name>). The same may be true for files that the application wants to place in the Windows directory (I think that's where a few P99SE configuration files are located). This mechanism seems to work rather transparently in general, but may not always. That directory is hidden by default, so you may have to set Explorer to show hidden files and directories when playing with that.
