Yes, of course it can. You need to spend a minute or two RTFM.

Why? It is a program after all. Lots of programs store data in the
Program Files folder.

It can for those who are willing to learn, so for you, it can't.

Yeah right! It tells me my Asus EeePC batteries are bad and they are
not. Windows 7 stupidly second guess things like a moron. Experienced
users see right through that BS. Non-experienced users are buying new
batteries like dumb asses. All because of Windows 7.

I have learned for over 35 years. Windows 7 (I guess Vista too) goes
totally backwards and pretends everybody is a moron. And you are ok with
that?

Programs that store user data in the Programs File folder conflict with
Vista/Win7's security paradigm. You can fight it and waste your time,
or you can take advantage of the easy and effective workaround. It's up
to you.

I know what I'm doing. Windows 7 doesn't get in my way.

My HP Mini has no such battery issue. Sounds to me like you have a
vendor problem. You should contact ASUS for updated drivers.

Yeah I know. I have to rewrite all of the programs that does otherwise.
Or I can stop using Windows 7. Hmm.. what to do?
