Vista is "secure"
If you want to write in non-approved areas, you (the user, not the
programmer) must tell Vista that it is ok to do so.

Yes, but not so much work.

Use  SHGetSpecialFolderLocation()  with one of these
	CSIDL_APPDATA 
	CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA 
	CSIDL_PERSONAL
	CSIDL_COMMON_DOCUMENTS 
depending on your requirements.

Works on Win95 too
