Anyone know how Vista handles .ini files? I have software that uses an ini
file but unless I run the software as administrator, it seems to use a
cached version. The user I log in as is in the Domain Admins group too!!

TIA.

Hi Paul,

You might be running into one of the file system virtualisation pitfalls,
similar to those described in this blog? -
