Yes, and "Program Files" is one of those folders that get virtualized, even if the current user is an admin. Obviously Microsoft probably knows a way around it, but I'm not sure I've ever seen it. Microsoft says Isolated Storage is the way to go, at least in .NET-written code.Vince wrote:I feel there is other reasons other than storing data in the C:\Program files, as Micro$oft SQL default instance data path resides in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.INSTANCE\MSSQL\DATA.(as an example)
I think its to do with 'Folder Virtualization' in Windows Vista.

Sorry, a bit of admonishment from an old supervisor - a voice I still hear every time I see that prompt. :rolleyes:
(I always pick 'Custom'. I usually accept the defaults, but I know something more about what's going on. It's just become a habit that that one day ten years ago....)
Yes, SQL does put it there. No, I don't think any admin would really want it there except maybe for demo or testbed systems.
