Hi Guido,
Yes, just as JR pointed out, you should save the log files to the per-user
directory under C:\Documents and Settings. The normal user will have full
control over his own per-user directory. You may use
Environment.GetFolderPath to obtain the path programmatically, like this:
Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolde r.ApplicationData);
However, I need correct one points:
Environment.SpecialFolder.CommonApplicationData points to the "Application
Data" under %ALLUSERSPROFILE% directory, and normal users do not have write
permission to it just as you have discovered. So you should not use
"Environment.SpecialFolder.CommonApplicationDa ta" constant.
Hope it helps.
Best regards,
Jeffrey Tan
