Re: Ini files.

I realize that there are no perfect solutions for this problem

C:\ rocks :-)

Not in vista it doesn't, or in XP as a non-admin user.

Seriously though, why not make the service soley responsible
for editing the INI file? Then the GUI can communicate
with the service to get/set the settings
from the INI file.
This way, the GUI needs no direct knowledge of where the
INI file is stored, and does not need permission to read/write
anywhere in particular. All the INI file writing would be done
by the service.
All you will need to do is figure out some mechanism for
communicating between the service and the GUI...!

Cheers,

Chris
