Copy file from arbitrary location to the VirtualStore directory, now you can access that file from anywhere you like ... sort of like a PATH environment for *any* file ... but it only works for 32 bit programs.
Here's an example:

C:\>vim test-fax000041829.pdf
C:\>dir test-fax000041829.pdf Volume in drive C has no label. Volume Serial Number is 88E2-2CCE

The vim worked on the file, even though it wasn't located at: c:\test-fax000041829.pdf
that's weird behaviour indeed. The above output reminds me so much of MS-DOS. Apparently though, Microsoft now have a new shell - windows PowerShell - which is said to compete with Linux and UNIX command line interfaces.
