What directory are you trying to save the changed file into? The same 
directory (or a subdirectory) under the program's executable?

Don't do that. You're not supposed to store data for a multi-user 
program into the place the system-wide executables are stored.

That's just my guess, mind, based on the fact that Vista is putting in 
stronger support to keep you from doing things like that, and actually 
moving files you write into the Programs directory into the user's home 
directory "transparently".  Very confusing, but necessary when programs 
refuse to follow the rules.
