Applicable Configuration:
BYOND Version: 440.1018
Operating System: Windows Vista SP1 (Same problem may exist for initial release)
Web Browser: N/A
Game/Hub(s): N/A
Video Card (for graphics bugs): N/A

Descriptive Problem Summary:
Whenever you try creating a project anywhere inside the main partition's (where Windows is installed) Program File directory, it does not show up at all on Windows. It isn't even recognized by the file system. Enabling the feature where you can see hidden files doesn't work either. Only way to ever see it is by using Dream Maker. Click Open Environment or anything else that opens so you can find it. From my assumption, it has something to do with the way Vista handles permissions.

Numbered Steps to Reproduce Problem:
1. Open Dream Maker

2. Select File and then New Environment

3. Set the directory to anywhere in the main partition's (Partition where Windows is installed) Program Files directory either at the root or a seperate directory.

4. Set a name for the project and create it.

5. Either click on Open Project Folder in the file menu or look around for it. Using Open Project Folder will result in an error. Try typing the directory in the address bar of an open window and it will also show an error.

6. Click on Open Environment after doing Step 5 and look for the directory inside the main partition's Program Files directory. It is clearly visible, but only in Dream Maker.

Code Snippet (if applicable) to Reproduce Problem: N/A

Expected Results: Visible inside where you placed the project in the Program Files directory. Also accessible through Open Project Folder (for later versions of BYOND).

Actual Results: Not visible on the file system at all. Try using command prompt and you will not find it.

Does the problem occur:
Every time? Or how often? Happens every time you create any project inside the main partition's Program Files directory.
In other games? N/A
On other computers? Only on Vista Systems.
In other user accounts? N/A

When does the problem NOT occur? When you place it anywhere besides Program Files and even Windows (who would put it inside the Windows Directory anyway?).

Workarounds:
Best workaround is not to create any project inside the main partition's Program Files directory on Vista, but instead at other locations. However, it is good for the fact it defaults to somewhere in your User Account for first time BYOND installs on the main partition rather than the Program Files directory.
