Is "Application Data" folder in windows protected ?

Hi All,

In windows OS, "program files" folder in windows is protected one, means, only administrator can modify its contents. I having problem with "Documents and settings\All Users\Application data" folder.

Can anybody tell me whether it is protected or not ?
I want to access its contents wihtout any administrative privilages, i.e. restricted user account ( windows OS).

Seems like you could have tried it a lot faster then posting?

You can access the application data of the current user without any problems. You shouldn't need to access the application data of all users unless you have a specific need to do so.

Thanks friends.
I got the solution. I am using Environment variables to get the application data folder. It is protected. And, now I am creating a new user for this folder, to access its contents.
