Vista virtualization not working ?

Hello,

I wanted to test windows vista virtualization. Running vista business 32bit.
So I launched cmd process under administrative user running in admin
approval mode (UAC on). Entered following commands:
cd c:\windows
echo some data>settings1.ini
And got:
access denied.
Checked C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\VirtualStore - and no files were
there.

So my process was not virtualized.
Why ?
In what circumstances processes are virtualized ?
How do I see virtualization in action - I need to understand that because
installer of my business application is virtualized.


thanks
Vilius

 

This might help.

particularly section 1.5

interest.

I want to ask simpler question:

What processes are virtualized by default ?
Looks like cmd.exe process is not virtualized.

Windows Installer. If there are any others I'm not aware of them.
