Application Data folder for Windows Service


I am developing a Windows service and am in need of storing
a file in the Application Data folder. However, the Service is running
on an "Local System" account and as far as I know that account
does not have an "Application Data" folder, is this true?

If that is the case, is there some other way to tell the service to perhaps
run from the administartor account, so that I can use the admin's
"Application Data" folder?

Kind Regards,
Robert
