Best directory to store application data with read\write rights for all users?
- by Wodzu
Hi guys.
Until Windows Vista I was saving my application data into the directory where the program was located. The most common place was "C:\Program Files\MyApplication". As we know, under Vista and later the common user does't have rights to write under "Program Files" folder.
So my first idea was to save the application data under "All Useres\Application Data" folder. But it seams that this folder has writing restrictions too!
So to sum up, my requirements are:
Folder should exist under Windows XP and above Microsoft's systems.
All useres of the system should read\write\creation rights to this folder and it subfolders and files.
I want to have only one copy of file\files for all useres.
Thanks for your time.
