I'm sure is worth, beacuse critical situations depending on this already happened.

By the way, maybe this is an unuseful question... But... Setting the read-only attribute does not prevent the possibility of deleting the files. Am i right?

By the way, i'll start searching right now if .NET offers some "permission-like" function that fits my needs. MAybe that's the right approach to solve this problem.

Thanks :)

Unfortunately, the answer on this question does not depend to me only on me, i work in a software house and there are some "rules" i need to follow to make the whole software work :)

One of them, is that i need to store my files in a subdirectory of the main installation directory of my software, like:
c:\mysoftware\subdirectory\
So, to answer at your first question, i can't store those files in the AppData folder.

I answer to the rest with a second, simple rule that i learned on my software-programmer experience...
"If you give a user the possibility to do something, be sure that, sooner or later, he will do it".

I'm meaning that even if the software works well, and there is NO reason to mess up with those files, some nosy users have done it.
