objFSO.CreateTextFile Permission denied

[stev379]

The snippet below checks for a flag file, and works fine when I'm logged in as an admin on XP, but errors on the Set objFile = objFSO.CreateTextFile("C:\PTRMIG_FLG_.txt") line when logged in as a Power
User or less. It returns a Permission Denied error. How can I create a file on the root of a machines C: drive or the root of the currently logged on users profile?
This runs as a logon script.

Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'Check for flag file and stop script if it exists

If objFSO.FileExists("C:\PTRMIG_FLG_.txt") Then

WScript.Quit
Else

Set objFile = objFSO.CreateTextFile("C:\PTRMIG_FLG_.txt")
End If



Thanks for any help or suggestions!

if the user does not have permissions to create a file in the root then youare stuffed try

WshShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%userprofile%")

...or some other environment string, there are other ways of getting environment strings but i am lazy and use this method and get my arsed flamed for it
