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.

still get an UAC prompt at the startup.

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
