Windows - Storing data for all users

[Bob Sneidar]

The All Users folder? See http://vbnet.mvps.org/index.html?code/browse/csidlversions.htm as specified in the dictionary on specialFoldersPath. It looks like you can use those 0xnnnn numbers as the argument to specialFoldersPath(). I have not tried it though.

I used to write to specialfolderpath(35), this worked up to vista, however under 7 it appears to require admin rights to write there. Is there a place that works reliably for XP and above and does not require admin rights? A place that is accessible by all users for read and write?
