Vista and Progam installations
I’ve noticed that with Windows Vista, some programs are installed into a hidden local user folder rather then in C:\Program Files. Does anyone know how to force a program to install into the default c:\Program Files?

Some programs are optimized for Vista installation and some are not. You can try to change the install path in the installer, but Vista may still move some files to a location where they can be run with your user privs.
