So who are you rebelling against? I follow that rule by passive uninvolvement, because I never did put any of my apps, program OR data, in C:\Program Files. It seemed like a bad idea to me, and so it proved to be. So, the original MS rule, that Program Files was God's chosen place for programs, I did rebel against. Is that the one you're referring to? (And you don't want C:\Program Data either, IMO. C:\MyApplication is a lot safer, and is approved by Zeus, Thor, Allah, and the Flying Spaghetti Monster, not just God!)

Steve was obviously referencing the rule that came from MS. The fact that there's always a work-around for any such rule, whether discovered by Doug Hennig or Malwar-0 el-Haxor, is part of the point I was making. Actually, I figured out how to cope with the MS rule by turning off virtualization in the Local Policies long before Doug published his solution. (I didn't so much figure it out as do some research; the Policies are well-documented.) If I can figure out how to get around it, anybody can. Including evil-doers. That's the point I am making.

RE: VFP 9 SP 2 on Windows 8
My take. I have my main prog which uses OCX's running on 8. Better than 7 in my opinion. Ok, since XP, M$ has stopped the use of program files to put things in other than the basics (not updatable stuff). Matter of opinion as to if you should or not anyway as all they have done is move it to ProgramData. And you can get over it by altering permissions anyway. Only problem I had is using csMail.dll which needs a help and admin mode to register. Otherwise I have no problems in 8. Windows 8.1 has a better start menu right click though so upgrade to 8.1 I also program on 8.1 (and 7) and have no problems other than the usual debug falling over.
