By default no single assembly can write more than 10MB per user--did you
change the default, or are your apps just not logging anymore? :)
----------------------
Alex, I would suggest using LocalApplicationData, as Dominick suggested,
followed by an application-specific folder (for example:
string path = System.IO.Path.Combine(
System.Environment.GetFolderPath(
System.Environment.SpecialFolder.LocalApplicationData), "MyAppName" +
System.IO.Path.PathSeparator + "log.txt");
LocalApplicationData is app data that will not be included in the user's
roaming profile, which is probably what you want.
