Creating new file in Windows Vista and 7

[Tim8888]

I am coming across an error when I run a compiled program trying to creating a new file in Windows Vista and 7. I think this is due to the new security features in newer Windows OS. Is there a way to get around it as a standard user instead of adminstrator? Is there an unprotected directory I can create new file and write to?

Use the LabVIEW Data folder (default: My Documents\LabVIEW Data) to store information.

You might need to create that folder for computers without LabVIEW.

You might also want to try turning down your UAC settings as an administrator on that machine.
