FRUSTRATING..I'M GLAD I DONT HAVE W7 |
THe UAC is probably the most important one. Turn off the UAC and I bet you will find all those files. I thought of that first but thought maybe you had helped him set it up so should have been done. Windows 7 & Vista will hide files from programs when you copy them or move them by putting them in hidden folders and not let the program see them. Piss poor way to do things and it took awhile for MTU to figure this out.
There is no way to actually downgrade Windows 7 to XP without doing a complete reload.
