| | Created a new folder using Save As Dialog, but it does not show up Hello I'm using the Save As Dialog in my .NET application running on Vista. When i use this dialog to create a new folder and save my file to it, the application knows where this file is. However, if I use the Window's Explorer window to then try and view this new folder, it doesn't show up! Why is this? This seems like a bug in Vista.... |

| | Re: Created a new folder using Save As Dialog, but it does not show up Hello, This sounds like you are attempting to save a file to a security-restricted area, such as program files or windows, and Vista is "virtualizing" the file by copying it to a folder inside your user profile so that your application will not fail. You can find the folder/file in this folder: c:\users\username\appdata\local\virtualstore\ Or, if you go to the folder inside explorer, there may be a button on the toolbar entitled "Show compatability files" - clicking this button will allow you to see these files. If you are the developer for this application, it should be modified to be vista-compliant by including a manifest. This will prevent it from being "virtualized" in this manner. -- - JB Windows Vista Support Faq http://www.jimmah.com/vista/ |
