I can't figure out if this is a MUSHclient problem, or a Windows 7 problem, but I've never seen this before. There are some world files and logs that I can see in MC's file browser, but not in Windows Explorer. I've saved copies of these in other folders through MC, and it still happens. Tried using windows search to find them, and no luck. The files seem to save just fine, no data lost, but they only seem to exist within MC's file system.

MUSHclient has no control over the file system.

Available solutions include:

* disable all or part of UAC
* put MUSHclient in a non-virtualization-protected location

There is a post about installing under Windows 7.

Fiendish is correct though, if you use the default folder this will happen to you, because Windows "helpfully" redirects files elsewhere.
