Not the OS's fault. If Paradox is using an API call that results in the data being saved to a hidden directory, that is their error.

If you install the game in program files, any files that change will end up in virtual store instead. We are working on ways to change this, but for now I recommend to just install the game elsewhere.

It's a UAC thing, isn't it? Stuff in program files isn't modified, rather a clone is made elsewhere which can be modified and used instead. Perhaps there's something we can do to avoid it, but it's a Vista/Win7 feature.
