Writing in the programs file folder is bad programming practice, that is the reason Microsoft made it so hard to do. Once the program has been set up it should never touch the program files directory unless it is being patched. If you need to save data it should be written to the folder

//Use this if you want different folder per user
Path.Combine(Environment.GetFolderPath( Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData),"Your Application Name");

//Use this if you want the same folder per user
Path.Combine(Environment.GetFolderPath( Environment.SpecialFolder.CommonApplicationData),"Your Application Name");
