Hello, I have read (but not deep enough) that you may not or should not write into files in the programm files / subdir directory on Win Vista because of user rights management / virtual store or something like this. Is this really a bad style or even a KO, which brakes something and you should only use the application data directory for INI files and stuff like this, or can I just go on, keeping everything thight together in my program files
folder?

For data storage it's out for Vista (by default). Can be done under XP if the user is the admin but you can't rely on that anymore (we used to get away with it and shouldn't have been able to). Vista will write your data out to virtual storage if UAC is turned on (default). Best to write to My Documents or one of several folders under Documents and Settings. In Rev My Documents is handy and is suported by the SpecialFolders function.
