How can I make my application to expect config file under "C:\Documents and
Settings\All Users\Application Data\MyApplication" folder rather install
folder.

My app performs read/write operation on application configuration file that
gets installed under application folder "c:\program files\My Application". It
works alright on XP, but as soon as I run it on VISTA machine, I start
hitting virtualization & UAC issues.

How can make my app run under VISTA? Can I move the config file under
"C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data" folder? If yes, how
can I make my app to expect config file under "C:\Documents and Settings\All
Users\Application Data" rather app folder.

Thanks
