Default Vista hides your savedgames

For posterity:
  1. Install Vista.
  2. Install Dominions, download turn and create "savedgames/Exterminatus" folder in "C:\Program Files (x86)\dominions3".
  3. Do turn.
  4. Go to attach .2h file, discover that "savedgames" folder is missing.
  5. Go back to Dominions, find that current turn data is still there.
  6. Scratch head.
  7. After half hour of searching, discover .2h file in "C:\Users\David\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\dominions3\savedgames\Exterminatus", noting that "AppData" is a hidden folder.

I bet it's old news, Vista having been out for some time now, but I thought the Dominions crowd might be slow to "update" their OS.

Happy New Year!
