Watch out for this though. It's been my experience, and maybe it's
just some sort of bug for now in Vista that will later be fixed, that
even sometimes writing to C:\ProgramData will cause things to be
redirected to the user's VirtualStore, which in some cases may be
okay, but in other's not okay at all.
I found the Public Documents folder to be about the safest place for
me. I realize it's maybe not the best place to store a prefs file, but
it seems to work best as far as all users being able to access it,
without things being redirected to the VirtualStore. The official path
is C:\Users\Public\Public Documents.
My two cents...

Can anyone tell me if there's a directory somewhere in Windows

specialFoderPath(35) (C:/ProgramData) seems the directory you need.
Good find, Eric. Thanks!
Some months ago we had a discussion here looking for such a
directory, and no one could turn up one which was writable by even
non-admin accounts.
But I was able to verify that specialFolderPath(35) can indeed be
written to and read from by admin and non-admin accounts.
Good sleuthing!
