Well sort of. The file is encrypted, I just want a place to put it.
The purpose here is for a timestamp in a demo version.
The contents is an encrypted Julian date. I've seen the market stuff
and I'd rather do my own. So I want to park an encrypted file somewhere
where if the user uninstalls the app, the file survives. What I've come up
with is in order of attempts:

1. "c:\windows\system32\msedms.txt"
2. "c:\winnt\system32\msedms.txt"
3. "c:\msedms.txt"
4. "c:\temp\msedms.txt"

All assume admin rights during install and setup. The file is created
during setup, not install so it survives removal. The 'ms' prefix makes it
look like an MS file (I recall my Charlemagne).

I won't get into the details of my user demographic, market etc., but I believe
this is sufficient for my purposes.

Comments?
