Safe Files does not work with Office 2010 Starter Edition

smipx013

I like the idea of Safe Files but it simply does not work for any application that uses file virtualization like Office 2010 Starter Edition.  Office starter 2010 uses a special hidden location to house its executable files for Excel and Word on a virtualized Q drive that you have no access to traverse. Word and Excel must be allowed to save files to My Documents but you cannot add Word or Excel to the "Safe Applications" in BD Safe Files module as you cant browse the Q drive to select excelc.exe or wordc.exe as a safe application.  You therefore have to turn off the "Safe Files" module of BD to use Office starter 2010 if you want to be able to save files you work on.
