I have a windows application compiled on c#.It works on Windows XP but if I install it on Windows Vista it gives me error. The Application has one ".ini" file which saves some configuration settings into it. And this file is created at the application folder after running the application.Application foldre is on system root\Program files. When I run the application on windows vista and I create that ".ini" file,Windows Vista put  it as Read Only. Because of this ,if I can't edit that file from the application runtime , it gives me message as "access to the file denied". It happens only on Windows vista.

How do I edit read only .ini file on the system root from the code on windows vista ?

Windows Vista is an operating system created by Microsoft as the successor to Windows XP. It was intended for PCs, workstations and laptops, and shares the same code base as its successor, Windows 7. New features included an updated graphical user interface (GUI) and visual style dubbed Aero, a new search component called Windows Search, redesigned networking, audio, print and display subsystems, and new multimedia tools. Vista aimed to increase the level of communication between machines on a home network, using peer-to-peer technology to simplify sharing files and media between computers and devices. Windows Vista included version 3.0 of the .NET Framework, allowing software developers to write applications without traditional Windows APIs.

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).
