Where are you creating these files? A program should not write in
C:\Program Files while it runs. If it tries, a user without administrator
privileges will not be able to run it.

Normally, uninstalling a program should *not* delete files that the user
created with it. So I think the OS is acting correctly.

The isntaller keeps track of what he installed in the first place, and use
that when uninstall. IF there are other files in the folder they are not
deleted.

Do not store files in the Program Files folder, use Application Data instead
