      FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
      Java 1.6.0.4_b12

      ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
      Vista: Enterprise Edition SP1

      A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
      Under Windows Vista a Java application is trying to write its data (e.g. log files) under the "C:\Users\Administrator" directory, that is disabled for normal users. It should do this under <user> as it do it on Windows XP. When application was created log directory was set under "user.home" directory, and everything worked fine on Windows XP but when it was moved on Vista i get an error that the application tries to write it's log under "C:\Users\Administrator" directory.

      Remark: the user starts the application without extended privilegs, so *not* as "Run as Administrator".


      REPRODUCIBILITY :
      This bug can be reproduced always.
