VirtualStore disappear someday?  Microsnot undo something bad they 
created?  Surely not!

I didn't write to VirtualStore, I am just wondering if my unstaller 
did indeed do its job, but that VirtualStore is storing a copy of the 
files wreaking havoc, preventing the new version from properly 
installing.  That's why the uninstaller polls for that location as 
well when deleting the files it created, in case Win itself did the 
duplicating.  Which would make you wonder if the permissions would 
indeed be set to Once Created, There Forever.

On launch, the app checks to see if the prefs files exist.  If not, 
it creates them.  According to him, even after running the 
uninstaller, the app is acting like the old files still exist so it 
is not creating new ones.   This is problematic because I changed 
some fundamental things in the app, and it needs to create the newer 
files to run properly.

I've instructed the fellow to do a full search of his drive for the 
folder my app creates for its pref files, and to look in VirtualStore 
as well.  I do not know if he will do this, or is even capable of 
doing it.

Very frustrating!
