All Users - Application Data - Folder creation permissions.

F

Fred W.

I have an application that creates directories in ...\All Users\Application
Data. When I create the directories I need to make sure all users can modify
and add files to them. How do I set permissions on the directory so that
when they are initially created, "Everyone" has full control, even if the
logged in user (i.e. the one creating them) is restricted. Thanks

You can use the new ACL classes in the framework to do this. Your
application will have to be installed by an administrator though.
