Default How to save a file in Vista's Windows Folder

I have Excel VB code that saves a tiny ini file in the Windows Directory.
Worked a treat on XP for years. It won't run on Vista because of the
security permissions for the Windows folder. I can work around it for new
files but all the hundreds of existing examples of my spreadsheet crash on
opening on a Vista machine. I don't want to reprogram every instance - all I
need is to save a tiny file in the Windows Directory! But how???

Have you asked in the Vista group? That would be the place to find out
about setting or using Vista permissions settings.
