I'm not sure if I was aware of this difference in file/folder virtualization. I'll have to read more about it (than the info that you already provided) because I don't like to be ignorant about these things. Thanks LoLA and AZ.

Been using Vista Business SP2 for about 1 year and is a pain in the ass. Fresh installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit last night and oh boy! It is awesome! Faster than Vista a lot i would say and hope it stays that way.
