<p>Please can someone advice what is the best place (path) to put some application data which should be accessible and editable by all users.</p>

<p>This is considering both Windows XP and Windows Vista and i expect that change in any file of above path does NOT trigger UAC!</p>

```
```
Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.CommonApplicationData)
```
```
Should resolve to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\
From there, make subfolders such as MyCompany\MyApp
