[Dx4win] v. 7.03 and vista saving

[K0CF]

Burt,

Vista does not allow programs to modify files in either the "Program Files"
nor the "Windows" folder trees. You will most likely find the working copy
of your log file in the following folder:

    "C:\Users\{UserName}\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program
Files\dx4w703\save" 

Where "{UserName}" is your Windows log-in name. Disclaimer: At least this is
where it is located on my computer!

The same thing happens with WriteLog's INI file, which is stored in
"C:\Windows". A working copy of it is created in this AppData tree --
causing no end of confusion for users when they try to edit the INI file! 

I guess this improves security, but it sure does make for a lot of
confusion.

73,
Craig, KØCF

I have vista and v. 7.03 working fine.  When I add new qso's to DX4 all 
is well.  However, I cannot find my W1ZS.dxl file in "save" folder which 
has been updated.....therefore I cannot save that file to another drive 
for safekeeping.  The W1ZS.dxl file does not update from my original 
installation of v. 7.03.  The program works fine but I don't find the 
update .dxl file or a ~xl file.  Am I overlooking something?? Is the 
updated file being kept elsewhere altho a search doesn't locate it.  Any 
ideas greatly apprecaited es tu
Burt....w1zs
