The only instance able to decide where an app or script is able to write to is: Windows. User X should be able to write to all data-areas owned by user X. Remember: apps are usually installed by the user Administrator, so the application folders are not writable by a user without admin rights. This is the reason why new Poser versions installs data in a global accessable document folder. This was different with earlier Windows versions.
