You need to be a Power User or better to write to that folder. The same is true of folders inside Program Files.
Joe, you need to ask the customer what groups the users are in (right-click on My Computer and choose Manage. Go to the Local Users->User folder and double-click on the user in question. The Member Of tab will show what groups they belong to) and what permissions are on the sub-folder (right-click on the folder and choose Properties->Security). My guess is that user's account isn't in the right groups and that the Everyone group how no rights.
