How do I code by vb.net .exe file to gain permission to create file?

Question

Trying to get my .exe file to create a .txt dump to the desktop, I have the directory correct and everything, but I can't seem to find online or offline what I need to code to make the system grant me permissions. I keep getting the error that the program doesn't have permission to create files.

Update:
My code to the desktop involves the special folders bit, and I am running it from an admin account.

I am *the* admin account, and thus have full permissions and it works using hard coded paths, but not special folders. That's the problem I'm having

Answer 1

Read-write permissions to a given directory are granted on the basis of the user executing the program. If you attempt to read or write a file to a folder / share that the user's account does not have permission to use -- either explicitly on the machine itself, or via group policy, or whatever -- you will get this error.

The only effective way around that problem is either to use the SpecialFolder class to call the user's own My Documents folder / Desktop folder, or to explicitly instruct the user to change permissions on any hard-coded directory paths you supply.

email me the code at [e-mail] and hopefully i can help.
