I want to update some older apps to ensure they will work with Vista.
I understand there are a couple things I need to change, but I would
like to verify this.

1. I heard that an app installed by a standard user cannot write to
the installation directory, so that I should move my config.ini file
to %APPDATA% in a program specific folder. If so, what is the correct
syntax for the Open statement for saving? Would this work?

Open "" & APPDATA & "Appnameconfig.ini" For Output As #1

2. I also heard that an app run as a standard user cannot write to the
registry. Is this true?

3. What VB6 support files are included in Vista, and therefore not
needed in the installation script?
