Just to clarify, when I say "create a folder under the user's MyDocuments for your application", I don't mean install your app there, I mean create a folder with your application name and use it for the files you want the user to write to. I noticed when I installed Adobe Photoshop, it created a folder under MyDocuments for the temporary files and files they use internally. So even Adobe couldn't get around this. <g> RobinS.

Vista does not support having a user write stuff to the Program Files structure. The only way that will work is if the user turns off UAC, which isn't recommended. The safest thing is to create a folder under the user's MyDocuments for your application, and put the logs there. (We put ours there so the user could find them and send them to us.) You can also write to Environment.SpecialFolders.LocalApplicationData, which is under the user's profile.
