Emacs on Window 7 saving files to VirtualStore directory

I've recently installed ClojureBox on a Windows 7 machine after using it on a different, XP machine for a while. When I created and saved a file, it wasn't being saved where I expected, but to the \Users\xxxx\AppData\Local\VirtualStore direc开发者_JAVA百科tory. This happened as long as I wasn't running emacs as the local administrator.

A Google search returned only a couple of hits, and with nothing I could really apply other than to run emacs as a local admin.

Any other way to get around this? Is there a windows setting, or something I could configure in emacs?

Thanks.

You can right-click Emacs and "run as Administrator" which I expect will get annoying quickly. Further, if you launch other apps from inside it you might be misled about the behaviour of those apps under normal circumstances. A better approach would be to save your files somewhere other than under Program Files or the root of C, thus avoiding virtualization.
