very IMHO but you shouldn't store it on your application volume anyway... better that
a registry config is read at startup that defines an output space to write files to
that
is guarenteed by network management to be accessible by all client machines...
would pay to use UNC for the destination too if the output will support the naming
format
as then network management need not worry about the limited availability of free
entries
in the Drive letter namespace.
