[WriteLog] WL Web Update under Vista

I continue to fumble about in the Vista universe trying to figure out what 
the heck is going on with the way it handles various WL files.  About a week 
ago I posted a complaint that after doing a web update download from within 
WL of the latest wl_cty.dat file that I didn't see any changes to the 
wl_cty.dat file date in the WL Programs folder.  I have just discovered why!

Vista puts the web download data files in 
C:\Users\AL9A\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\WriteLog\Programs, 
NOT in C:\Program Files\WriteLog\Programs where I was expecting to find them 
and where they have gone under previous Windows versions.  In addition to 
the wl_cty.dat file all the web download files that I requested ended up in 
the C:\User\AL9A... path.  This includes all the different master.dta files 
for Super Check Partial, namedmul.ini, etc.  So the files do get updated, 
it's just that Vista puts them where you aren't expecting to find them!

At least now I know where to go find them to check the file dates to see if 
I have the latest and greatest!
