I have not decided where to put my logs yet - within the project folder or
outside.
Thanks for the advice!

You should probably reconsider having your program require administrator
privileges just to write the log to the C: drive.
Perhaps a sub directory on the C: drive should be good enough? Or the
application's own directory?
Also, if your program generates a lot of logs you should probably write them to
a different drive to prevent it from filling all the space on the C: drive.
Or make sure you have some sort of an automatic way to delete old logs like a
scheduled task independent of your program.
