Re: User Account Control lost files

Go to C:\Program Files, and click on Compatibility Files in the Toolbar of
Windows Explorer. This will take you to C:\Users\(Your
Name)\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files. This is where UAC puts the
files of programs that write certain types of user files to the C:\Program
Files subdirectories.
