Hi,

when my app. is installed under Win2000/XPPro system by the system
Administrator, regular users launching the app. will run into trouble if my
app. wants to write files to it's own folder as the regular user is not
allowed to access the folder. Of course this depends on the security policy
on that particular system.

How can I avoid this kind of trouble? How can I set the Access rights of the
newly installed program folder? Maybe I can prompt the Administrator to
change the access rights of the newly installed folder but I'm looking for
an 'idiot-proof' solution...

TIA

Andre Beuving
