disabling folder and registry virtualization for a legacy application

I have a legacy application that properly handles failures to access
folders and registry entries (if the user does not have appropriate
privilege), but Vista's folder and registry virtualization is thwarting
the proper operation of this code, since accesses that should fail
appear to succeed (but do the wrong thing).

How do I disable this feature for this application? I've been reading
about manifest files, whose presence will disable this feature, except
that it is not clear whether the manifest must be embedded into the
application or if it can merely reside with the .exe in the same folder.

Any help will be appreciated!

Bob
