Niall,
OK, that is the final nail in the app-based fix idea. Thanks for the information.
Best wishes.

My research seems to indicate that I can modify my installer to set up my folders with appropriate permissions at install-time, but I’d prefer to use boost::filesystem to check folder/file permissions then change them at run-time, if necessary using appropriate csidl values.
Filesystem only supports the POSIX access permissions model when running on POSIX. It does not support ACLs, nor permissions at all on Windows.
