They just had to go and use an acronym (or whatever, let's not go

Vista uses Application Impact Management (AIM) to handle some of those
applications that write in 'no-no' directories like the system directory
or their install folders.  If access is denied to the location of a
write attempt to resources like the registry or a file (e.g., a
temporary file in a poorly-thought-out place, as you outline), the user
gets his/her own copy of the file and can continue to use the
application as if it were able to alter the file in question.
