Don't know Vista but in XP there is a command line utility called
CACLS that can be used to edit permissions for a directory.

In XP you could open a command window and type (for example)
CACLS "c:\Program Files\The Bat!" /e /g Everyone:F

You probably need to be using an "admin" account to do this.

I suggest it is better to use a location where you already have
write permission for the mail folder. The default of
%appdata%\the bat! would seem to make sense. For me, using XP,
that is the same as
C:\Documents and Settings\[USERNAME]\Application Data\The Bat!
