Saved Game Files being redirected

So I did locate the saved game files after all. They appear to being redirected to a “Virtual Store” directory under Users, see below

The directory path o the program points to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\ Matrix Games\World in Flames\ Scenarios\Guadalcanal\Saved Games
which I believe is the standard location. The program even thinks they do exist here but they don’t.

However, where they end up is:
C:\Users\Me\Local\AppData\Local\Virtual Store\ Program Files (x86)\ Matrix Games\World in Flames\ Scenarios\Guadalcanal\Saved Games.

PC running Win10. Maybe a compatibility issue but there has to be others running MWIF on Win10. I’ll continue to fuss with this to make sure I have access to saved games before proceeding with the Guadalcanal scenario. If anyone has any insight, I would appreciate it. I’ll post in Tech Support also. Thanks.

I got it. Needed to check the compatibility mode under shortcut properties.
