Hi,
I have a windows service application which has to store the files in specific location. But sometimes it is saving few files to C drive. Why is this problem occurring. Please help.

What I have tried:

string Path=@"C:\Testing\Logs";
This is the path to be saved but it saves in C drive.

You need to provide considerably more detail for anyone to be able to help you.

Well yes...it will. That is what the "C:" part of the file path specifies should happen.
If you want data saved on a different disk, then change "C:" to "D:" or "E:" or whatever seems appropriate.

But don't do it like that: never hardcode folders - read them from a configuration file or similar.

Thanks for the solution. Yeah then I changed it as reading from a JSON file which is "D:/Testing/Logs", but still it saves the files to C:/.
