[Christian Havel]

Hi,

how can I create a directory in the "documents and settings / user" directory?

Christian,

Assuming you have the rights to do so (if you are another user, and and
not an administrator) you won't, not unless you impersonate a user that has
rights and perform the operation under that user.

But generally, to create a new directory, you can use the DirectoryInfo
class, calling the Create or CreateSubDirectory methods to create the
directory that you wish.

Hi Nicholas,

thanks for your response!
How the directory can be created else (if the user does not have
administrator rights)? Is this a job for the install-program?

Christian,

Well, it depends on what the directory is for. But yes, if it is a
regular user, then they will not have rights to write to the Program Files
directory.

What is the purpose of the directory that you are trying to create?

Hi Nicholas,

in the directory I want to save some projectinformations (creatorname, date
of creation, ...) in a Xml-file.
