Weird: Different deployed apps in each windows account, Can'

[fperedo]

Hi!
I know this migth be a newbie question but:
Why when I run JBoss on the Administrator account there are no deployed applications... but when I run it on my user account (Fperedo) then, there are deployed applications....

I am learning JBoss, and I made lots of experiments... after that, I decided that I wanted to "clean-up fast", so I logged in as the Administrator, and uninstalled JBoss... , manually deleted C:\Program Files\jboss-4.0.5.GA\ then installed it a again... runned it... everything ok... nothing is deployed... logout...
Login as Fperedo...
run JBoss...
lots of applications deployed (and lots of errors, because many of them were wrongly deployed because I was learning)

How can I completly resete JBoss in ALL windows accounts?
Why when Jboss is startins it says that I have an EAR in

C:\Program Files\jboss-4.0.5.GA\server\.tmp ....

I don't see any ".tmp" directory... and why should those deployment be there if I complety deleted JBoss....

Any hints...?

Are you by any chance running Vista? Vista creates a pseudo folder that corresponds to "Program Files" for every user. When a user makes changes to "Program Files" the change actually gets made in the pseudo folder. Of course, if you log in as someone else, then you have a different pseudo folder. Also, when logged in as Administrator, there is no pseudo folder. Note that this is a new security feature in Vista that prevents viruses from corrupting applications.

Ways to get around this are:

1) Install JBoss AS somewhere other than Program Files (you are only asking for headaches by installing any Java software in a directory with spaces in its name)

2) Turn off the the security feature that reduces your rights (sorry, I'm not running Vista right now and I cannot recall the exact name of that feature, but just about every newsletter/article on Vista has that info)

Yes, exactly, I am running Vista...
I am going to use google to find out about that Program Files protection...
Thanks a lot!
