I have a AHK executables that were placed in an old game's installation directory on a Vista machine: C:\Program Files (x86)\<game name>.
If the AHK executables are run without Admin permissions they don't seem to utilize Vista's Virtual Store. For example:

One AHK executable saves the current configuration file by creating a "backup" directory and doing a FileMove. It then does a "Loop, Read, <current file>, <new file>" to create a new version of the configuration file. A file create error occurs. Shouldn't the file be created in the user's Virtual Store?

Other AHK executables copy files from a temporary directory into the install directory (overwriting existing files). Shouldn't Vista be placing the files in the Virtual Store and the then the game starts using those versions the next time the game is run?
