Vista Virtualization - Limited to certain resources?
I have read article after article and have been unable to answer this question:

Does vista virtualize only certain resources? For instance, is virtualization limited only to Program Files, Users, and Windows folders and HKLM\Software in the registry?

Can I create a limited access folder on an alternate partition and expect it to virtualize the files in that folder for users with limited access?

What if I have a folder :
C:\Program Files\tempfolder\tempfile.txt file AND A
D:\Program Files\tempfolder\tempfile.txt

what will end up in my ...\VirtualStore\Program Files\tempfolder ?

My gut feeling is that Virtualization is limited to certain folders and registry keys, but I was hoping to get confirmation of that, and best case scenario, a list of those resources.

Thank you,
Kickinmhl

The documentation for the virtualization is very bad... it may be limited to Program Files, but I've looked for an answer about this and I haven't seen one anywhere.
