I would say the contrary. I would point to this tutorial for both Vista and XP (with "Documents and Settings" instead of "Users"). Running with admin rights unnecessarily is very bad practice, with regards to both security and stability. XP installs without a limited account by default and doesn't have UAC, and so most people run with admin rights all the time, but people who use one (such as people who know they should, or kids whose parents know kids don't make good sysadmins) will turn to the specific XP tutorial, and DOSBox won't work, and it would have if they had followed this one allegedly specific for Vista.

Anyway why is it so bothersome to place oldgames\ in \users\user\ or \users\public\ instead of \ ? :wondering: Once mounted it will be the same virtual unit.

(BTW gotta update my own tutorial now that 0.73 complies with Windows permissions...)
