SHGetKnownFolderPath() and its cohorts accept one of the constants defined here, returning the path to a directory.

I’m looking for one of these folders which is reliably writable by all users (including LocalSystem) on XP, Vista, and Windows 7… but I think I’m striking out. It appears that, in fact, there is no single location on the hard drive anymore where you can put a file and be assured that all users can write to it on all these OS versions, without fiddling the permissions first.

Is this true?

    You are correct; there is no such folder.

    You will need to create one yourself.
