I have an old program that saves its files to Program Files. We are updating it to run properly on Windows 7. The problem is that we now can’t find our saved files. Windows 7 allowed our program to save to program files, but obviously put the files somewhere else. We can’t find that ‘somewhere else’. Does anybody know where Windows 7 places its files when we save in Program Files?

Update:
We’ve looked in program files, in program files (x86), we’ve used Windows Explorer search function to try and find the directory name. Nothing works, but when we check to see if the directory we are making already exists in our application, we find it and put up our error dialog box.
