Hi friends.

I want to create a directory that my application uses. Now i am creating the 
directory in the Application Folder where the program is installed.

String InstallationPath = ExtractFilePath(Application->ExeName);
String CustomDirectory = InstallationPath + "\\data";

    if(!DirectoryExists("Installation Path\\data"))
        CreateDir(CustomDirectory);

1.How can i stop the user from Opening and Deleting this "data"folder.
2.Can i make the directory only for my application.

All help greatly appreciated.
Thanks
SA
