It always has the folder with sub folders inside for each newsgroup and the main folder is always inside the program folder in programs(XP).

| | Re: VirtualStore??????? Hello, You are correct, applications are not allowed to store data in the program files folder - this folder is for, well, program files only. If an application attempts to write to this folder, the writes will appear in the virtual store, C:\users\YOURNAME\AppData\Local\VirtualStore. -- - JB Windows Vista Support Faq http://www.jimmah.com/vista/ |
