Vista and Windows 7 Notes:
* When run on Vista/Win7 you will need to run the program as administrator to see & set running files.
* As administrator with UAC enabled you will get a UAC prompt when launched and UAC will also block the Start with Windows option!
* Also, the drive/folder the program runs in must allow folders & files to be created/written to.

How To Setup PriFinitty2 with UAC enabled
