Chris and Richard,
I was confronted with this problem and the 'horrible' way Vista makes
its own of all it wants as it wants.
But you know this too...
Sometimes, I do regret to not be obliged to work on my Mac only ;-)
I had noticed that Norton LiveUpdate folder and others significant
data that have to be updated frequently were there...
And as far as I can agree (!!!) the way Vista makes its job, I assume
that C:/ProgramData (the name itself is significant) could be the
right place and it works for me AFAIK.
Chris, you say that some files you put in it were nevertheless
virtualized?
It would be interesting to go to the bottom of this: can you share
circumstances when it happened?
Best regards from Paris,
Eric Chatonet.

Watch out for this though. It's been my experience, and maybe it's
just some sort of bug for now in Vista that will later be fixed,
that even sometimes writing to C:\ProgramData will cause things to
be redirected to the user's VirtualStore, which in some cases may
be okay, but in other's not okay at all.
I found the Public Documents folder to be about the safest place
for me. I realize it's maybe not the best place to store a prefs
file, but it seems to work best as far as all users being able to
access it, without things being redirected to the VirtualStore. The
official path is C:\Users\Public\Public Documents.
My two cents...

Can anyone tell me if there's a directory somewhere in Windows
Vista that is accessible by all users of the PC??
specialFoderPath(35) (C:/ProgramData) seems the directory you need.
Good find, Eric. Thanks!
Some months ago we had a discussion here looking for such a
directory, and no one could turn up one which was writable by even
non-admin accounts.
But I was able to verify that specialFolderPath(35) can indeed be
written to and read from by admin and non-admin accounts.
Good sleuthing!
