You are assuming that files in the Program Files directories are safe.

>Absolutely the wrong advice, especially given the title of this thread. This puts your app outside the protected folders and makes it available for malware to attack and attach to it. If that happens your customers will blame you.

>Install the application where it belongs, Program Files or Program Files (x86). If data is local, put it in \Users\Public\YourApp or \Users\UserName\AppData if the data is per user.

>>Hi,
>>Set lcUserFolder to you app folder i.e. c:\yourapp and set read/write access to group everyone.
>>You can also change the default rights for c:\ for group everyone to read/write and it would be the same as usual. (Not a good idea to give read/write access of a root to everyone)
