I would simply not have the log files in the program files folder. The process needs write permissions on it and generally you would only want administrators to have write permissions on the program files folder or any of its subfolders. I would rather consider using e.g. %appdata%/yourapplication/logfiles .
Then you could easily have your log4net config point to that location, regardless of where this will be set up. I would do the same thing for the temporary files.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
