在哪里放置常见的可写应用程序文件？

我认为这CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA\company\product应该是放置应用程序的所有用户和应用程序可以修改的文件的地方,但是,在Vista上这是一个只读位置,除非安装程序修改(根据MSDN - http: //msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms995853.aspx),那么......什么是最好的？修改位置的安全设置以允许编写或使用CSIDL_COMMON_DOCUMENTS\company\product？也许还有第三种选择？

此外,微软是否有某个"官方"推荐？

仅修改AppData目录的特定子目录上的安全性(这来自您提供的链接):

CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA此文件夹应该用于非用户特定的应用程序数据.例如,应用程序可以在CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA文件夹中存储拼写检查字典,剪贴画数据库或日志文件.此信息不会漫游,并且可供使用该计算机的任何人使用.默认情况下,此位置对于普通(非管理员,非电源)用户是只读的.如果应用程序要求普通用户具有对CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA的特定于应用程序的子目录的写访问权限,则应用程序必须在应用程序设置期间显式修改该子目录的安全性.修改后的安全性必须记录在供应商调查问卷中.

下面是一个简单示例,说明如何为Common App Data文件夹(CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA)中的所有用户创建具有读/写权限的文件和文件夹.任何用户都可以运行此代码,以授予所有其他用户写入文件和文件夹的权限:
