This bit from the Fusion 6 changelog should be added to this page where the built-in directories are mentioned.

In order to support the tighter application folder security of Microsofts Windows Vista and Windows 7, Fusion no longer saves its application data to the application install folder. This has the following effect on the pathmaps found in Fusion's preferences:

  • The User: pathmap has been removed.
  • The pathmap UserData: now refers to the user’s roaming data folder. On Windows Vista this is generally the folder "C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\".
  • The pathmap UserDocs: refers to the user’s document folder. On Windows Vista this is "C:\Users\username\Documents\".
  • The pathmap AllData: refers to the operating system's shared application data folder. On Windows Vista this is usually "C:\ProgramData\eyeon\Fusion\"“.
  • The pathmap AllDocs: refers to the operating system's public/shared document folder. On Windows Vista this is usually "C:\Users\Public\Documents\eyeon\Fusion\".

To comply with restrictions imposed when UAC is enabled on Vista, “Profiles:” is now stored in “AllData:Profiles\” and most application data is is multi-pathmapped to refer to “AllDocs:Comps;Fusion:Comps”, etc.

Added, thanks. Feel free to add such changes yourself, if you like :-) --Daniel
