Have you tried \Users\Public instead?

>• Store read-only global data in the common application data folder. This folder has an ID of CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA (0x23), which resolves to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data on XP and C:\ProgramData on Vista. For example, the Super Happy Fun Ball application should store its global data in C:\ProgramData\My Company Name\Super Happy Fun Ball on Vista. Note that since this folder is read-only for standard users, it can only be used to store global settings created by an administrative user. (In fact, this folder doesn’t even show up in Windows Explorer unless you have the “show hidden files and folders” setting turned on.) However, you can set permissions for this folder so it is writable by all users.
