No, not wrong... but the files are probably written in 
/users/name/appdata/Local/VirtualStore/Program Files/...

Vista shows these files *as if* they are written in c:\program files\... 
but they are not. Problem occurs when logged in as another user. You 
*think* you modified files in c:\program files\... but Vista saves your 
modified files somewhere in the virualStore. So if you log in as the 
first users, changes seems to be lost. Same thing happens if you log in 
via Terminal Server. It's some sort of compromis to keep legacy 
applications (that do not follow vista-rules) running...

Same thing when storing data in the Registry. It also has a virtual 
store where data is written that is (by Vista rules) not allowed to be 
written in some parts of the registry (like e.g. HKLM).

Single user says: No problem, all runs fine!
