[Coco] vcc virtual floppies

Do you have UAC on in Windows? If so, all files you create/modify are stored in a "secret" dir to lock out other users using "your" file. I had this problem when I did a "restore" of my windows system and UAC (User Account Control) was ON by default. It was a mess getting things back right after turning that off as it had been on for 2 weeks before I discovered it and everything I had created/installed didn't exist where it said it was.

There is no file.  I have "show hidden files" enabled but nothing is
there.  Additionally, when windows search finds it and I right click it and
select properties it shows its location as the vcc directory, but if I
click on any other of the property tabs windows says the file doesn't
exist.  I am just about to install Vcc on my desktop to see if the behavior
is consistent.
