Well the fact that suncertify.properties is not visible anywhere, is not related to the code. I mean I know for a fact that the file is somewhere on the Vista system since previous options entered are automatically loaded, however I can't find the actual file, Ive tried browsing through the directories and also searched the entire drive. I also used the "show hidden files" and "show system files" options and still could not find.
Funny, because I recently observed something rather similar to what you describe, though in a different context. I bought a new computer with Windows Vista recently, on which I wanted to install JSwat (a Java debugger). Apparently the application is installed, but I can't actually see it anywhere using either Windows Explorer or a DOS box. I know it's on the file system, though, because if I try to install it a second time the installer complains that it's already there. Also, I found out that if I launch another Java application, I can actually see the JSwat files through a file chooser in that application. It is as if only a JVM can see those files.
