C:\Users\Markruss\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Windows\Application.ini.
C:\Windows\Application.ini,
add additional extensions to the exception list
The file system locations that are virtualized for legacy processes are %ProgramFiles%, %ProgramData%, and %SystemRoot%, excluding some specific subdirectories.
However, any file with an executable extension, including .exe, .bat, .scr, .vbs, and others, is excluded from virtualization
You can see the virtualization status of a process by adding the Virtualization column to Task Manager’s Processes page.
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.
Windows Vista enables these legacy applications to run in standard user accounts through the help of file system and registry namespace virtualization.
In addition, it introduces Group Policy settings that enable standard users to install printer and other device drivers approved by IT administrators and to install ActiveX^® controls from administrator-approved sites.
This makes it possible for many corporations to have their laptop users run under standard user accounts.
UAC accomplishes these by requiring administrative rights less frequently, enabling legacy applications to run with standard user rights, making it convenient for standard users to access administrative rights when they need them, and enabling even administrative users to run as if they were standard users.
