In trying to answer a question regarding a folder that a program can write to on any version of windows by limited users, i suggested FOLDERID_ProgramData and FOLDERID_PublicDocuments. However, it would seem that not everyone has access to this folder, despite their purpose (ostensibly) being to allow anything to write to them. Why?
