From 7.00 change log:
+++ Now you can freely determine XYplorer's application data path und
thus banish any UAC (User Account Control) issues.
How? I can't find this option anywhere.

Look for "startup.ini" in the Help and scroll the help page down to the bottom.

I've done that, set AppData/Path to E:\XYplorer\appdata (XYplorer is installed in E:\XYplorer), but still get an UAC prompt at the startup.

Can somebody on Vista help here?

Does it work with the following startup.ini?
- - -
[Appdata]
Path=%APPDATA%\XYplorer
- - -

No, and "Go to Application Data" shows it is being set correctly.

One possibility for this:
Look on the "Compatibility" tab of the properties for the xyplorer.exe file and/or the shortcut you're using to start XY. If the "Run this program as an administrator" box is checked, then uncheck it to avoid the UAC prompt.

It worked! It was set to run as administrator in the "Show settings for all users", for some reason.
Now I can finally use XYplorer as my default file manager
