I learned about about Vista due to a strange programming error. Whenever a program tries to write to the program files directory the result is writen in a shadown folder specific to the user.

The long and short of it was editing data in geoserver resulted in it saving a new shapefile; since the data directory was in program files the actual result was placed "AppData".

The geoserver installer was not aware of AppData and thus my edits would survive even across uninstall/install cycles of GeoServer.

I know uDig is set up to store config "elsewhere" already - but this still may be something to watch out for. I was hoping it would explain why under vista the scalebar style editor does not appear.

Cheers,
Jody
