Default another issue or odd note.

I use a sat tracking program that as written, is installed in the
/program files/ folder, and apparently with the increased OS
security , unable to download TLE files directly into the proper
folder UNLESS there is an older file by the same name is already
copied there. its a minor issue and easy to get around., however
.INI files ( config file) have security levels raised to prevent
users from editing it, again by OS level changes. this too is a
minor issue, I just modify the permissions to allow it.

The odd thing, apparently after Win7 and now Win10TP , running the
program creates a hidden folder and a series of sub folders titled

C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Progr am Files

not a problem , however IF you need to modify the program or upgrade
the system created folder prevents the new version from running and
errors out. deleting the hidden folder and rebooting the the
computer allows a new set of the virtualstore folders to be created
and all is fine again.
Did not see this issue with earlier version of Windows..


NOT a compliant just observations of the differences. isn,t that
what
running the tech preveiw is all about ?

any thoughts welcomed...
