Vista - question about Virtual Store

i have a program called MIRC and when someone sends me a file on it,it's
supposed to go to MIRC>Download,but instead i click compatibility and it is
there under something called Virtual Store but again it acts like it's going
to Download. Is there a way to change that? Just curious.

In your program's Options dialog, change the default download location
(path) of the folder to one that is under your account name. For example,
C:\Users\(Your Name)\Downloads\MIRC Downloads (you may have to create the
folder there first). Then UAC won't redirect your files. It doesn't like
user files written to the C:\Program Files subdirectories.

Hello,

The easiest solution is to have MIRC save files to a folder inside of
your user profile folder (for example, your downloads folder or your
documents folder).

Otherwise, you will have to edit the security on the download folder in
program files to give your username access.
