Re: ntfs on deploy

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Thanks for posting that, and the other link. I'm looking at developing
something, and want to make sure it will run on Vista, and had heard we
were no longer going to be able to store user config files in
C:\ProgramFiles\my application\.

Can we still store information in Isolated Storage?

You shouldn't put the database there, that violates MS development

Instead, put the database file in the Users\All Users\Application Data
folder structure.
