I understand the concept of the Virtual Store. One question. If I have an
Excel2000 file in the Virtual Store and go to that file in Explorer, then
click it launching Excel, I get a file not Found message. Yet if I open
Excel and do File Open and navigate to the Virtual Store, the file opens.
What are the attributes of the VS file that prevent clicking it to start
Excel and open the file?
Also, with legacy apps like Excel2000, will changing the Properties to
include Run as Administrator and Run in XPsp2 Compatibility effectively work
or do I really need a .res file as stated here:
""For the purposes of this virtualization, Windows Vista treats a
process as legacy if it's 32-bit (versus 64-bit), is not running with
administrative rights, and does not have a manifest file indicating
that it was written for Windows Vista."
I don't want to disable UAC but I'm a single user, home computer and the UAC
road to easy computing seems to have more disadvantages than advantages for
my situation.
