    Special Folders Help

    I want my app to write common app settings to one place, and per-user
    settings to another. I tried doing so using the SpecialFolders Enum.

    I chose CommonApplicati onData for my common data and ApplicationData for
    per-user data.

    Questions
    =========
    1.) The docs say that ApplicationData is for roaming users. It seems to
    work fine on my XP Media Center machine, and I am not on a domain. Is
    this the correct option to use so that it will store it per user no
    matter if XP Home, MC, Pro, Win 2K, 2003, etc? Or is there a better one?

    2.) Logged in as Admin, the common app folder allows me to save the
    xml settings file. Logged in as a member of the Users group
    complains with access denied. What should I do to get the
    desired results?

    TIA,

    Shane
