Application Installation in Windows 7

[amalvr]

What to do, if our applications have files that may change during the execution and resides in Program File.If we are Administrator there is no problem...?.With out setting the security policies is there any other way?.Where should we keep such files?

For files that need to change either use the users Roaming profile for files that need to persist like options. For temporary files (cache, etc) use the local profile.

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local

For an example look at how Firefox does it.
