iSeries Access V5R4 current SP under Vista has the .ws files in
C:\Program Files\IBM\Client Access\Emulator\Private

This was a clean install of iSeries Access done around the beginning of
the year.

The behaviour of iSeries Access varies, and i wasn't able to exactly
pinpoint when it behaves which way.

Here are my assumptions:

iSeries Access first tries writing to %ProgramFiles%\IBM\Client
Access\Emulator\Private. If that works, it will use that path.

This will succeed when the following conditions are true:

a) User is running with administrator privileges
b) User is running Windows Vista with UAC enabled (File Virtualization)
c) Permissions for the "Private" Folder have been modified

If that does not work (e.G. on Windows XP without Admin Privileges),
it will use the path provided by getShellFolder.

System i Access V6R1 fixes most of those issues on Windows Vista by
having an appropriate manifest associated with each executable.
