Edit Question
Title
Body
My application needs to, like most, store data. The application was previously used on XP only where it would store the data in Program Files . Now that our customers are moving to Windows 7 I had to upgrade it so that it stored the data in a new folder. I opted for the ApplicationData folder as I thought I would be allowed access without needing UAC at all. Now on some Windows 7 machines this is fine, but on others access to the folder fails, presumably because of permissions, but when ran with Administrator privelidges the program works fine. Am I using the wrong folder or are these cases outliers? In either case what is the best practice for this kind of thing? I am using the following C# SpecialFolder to get the AppData folder location. System.Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData
