I just tried this in the VFP window (as an Admin user):
MODIFY COMMAND "C:\Program Files (x86)\tst.prg"
... stuff
... save
at the command prompt:
cd "C:\Program Files (x86)"
dir *.prg && not there
re-open in VFP - it's good
search in Win Explorer shows "C:\Program Files (x86)" is:
C:\Documents and Settings\MyFolder\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program
Files (x86)
- this is the directory on my m/c that contains Visual Foxpro 9 (and
tst.prg!)
all clear now? <bg>

Have a look at adding to the manifest of the exe to have the OS believe the
exe is Windows 7 aware which will result in the pesky virtualisation being
turned off for that exe. I believe that will solve the issues of writing to
the "c:\programs files\" folder.

Interesting. I am currently running on XP SP3 but will have to move to
W7 or greater soon.
My current apps are structured like this:
All source and executables are in subfolders of c:\program files\.
All databases, tables and reports are in subfolders of c:\ (the root).
Does this mean I won't be able to put the source etc into c:\program
files\*?
Will I be able to keep the data and reports in folders of the root?
No you can still do that although you might find it more challenging with
permissions as 7 and 8 are more particular about not cluttering up the root
of the filesystem.
