Comment 5 for bug 852447

I am not sure I understand. I am new to Windows 7, but here is my experience so far:

- Windows 7 Home Premium
- Inkscape 0.48.2 installed from the file : Inkscape-0.48.2-1-win32.exe
- installation directory : C:\Program Files\Inkscape\
- Inkscape preferences in : C:\Users\Alvin\AppData\Roaming\inkscape\preferences.xml

- if I wish to save a file to a system directory such as C:\Program Files\Inkscape\ then I need to perform a right click on Inkscape and choose 'Run as Administrator'.
- if I wish to save a file to a common directory such as C:\Windows\Temp\ then do a normal double click on Inkscape.

- so far this is working for me, is this different than what you are getting?
- note that the preferences are in your own user directory, and also if you do not run Inkscape as adminstrator then your data may get saved to a location like C:\Users\Alvin\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Inkscape if you do not have appropriate authority. But I think this is normal Windows 7 behaviour, as far as I can tell.
