I have an option file, which should be read/writable for all users.

Hi Tiemo,

Please note that this goes against security best practice. Configuration files that are readable by all users should only be writable to privileged users, i.e. administrators. If all users can read and write a single configuration file, this is very often an exploitable security flaw.

If at all possible, I recommend to design your software so that each user gets his or her own configuration file. The "virtualisation" that you are complaining about is actually a security *feature* in Windows in order to work around flaws in older software that attempts to use a single, "all users" configuration file!
