This is the BIG issue introduced with Vista.
Either turn off
User Account Control, or run the program as Administrator.
I think
this feature was in XP Pro, but turned off by default, in Vista, it was
turned on by default, hence the shock to new users.
Go to [Control
Panel]>[User Account] and turn off User Account Control. Albeit, some
rogue program could execute an exe file without your authorization. BUT if
you turn that off, you are now more in an XP world.
Otherwise, and
maybe the safer mode, is to execute the program in Administrator mode,
which in effect YOU are, as this is a PC at home, and not in a public
office environment.
Do look at Total Commander as an Explorer
replacement, and check the boxes under properties to [X] Run as
Admin....
Your choice.
All 32 bit applications do go by
default to the <x86> program folder on a 64 bit
system.
