What does "nice" do?

I don't think file ownership will be a problem. The permissions on the 
folder are set correctly, so I think it'll work.

(I wonder how you get it to do the thing where it *asks* for permission 
to do stuff?)

Interestingly, the other day I tried to unzip a file into Program Files 
and 7zip couldn't do it. However, Windows Explorer could. (It asked for 
permission.) Interesting, eh? :-.

This works on XP, but under Vista I couldn't see an option for that...
