Application calibration file locations win XP/7

I have an application that needs to have up to eight cal files for a network analyzer. The application has a calibrate section that saves the cal files and a test section that uses the files to correct for the test fixture. Where is a logical place to put these files for a build in win XP and win 7? I tried the programs/app/data folder and in win 7 it says the user needs admin privileges to update the files. I want to distribute the cal files with the application install package.

C:\Users\Username\Documents\"Your_Application_Name" data\

 

E.g. C:\Users\Username\Documents\Network_Analyser data\... (calibration files...)

 

To distribute your calibration files in this folder using the LabVIEW application builder:

 

-Right-click your build name and select properties

-Navigate to the Source file Settings tab

-You may include your cal files under the [Personal] folder. This folder is the equivalent of "C:\Users\Username\Documents\" on the target PC so don't forget to add your sub folders!
