You need to give it (or the parent folder) appropriate rights via a windows admin account.

Why does this sound suspicious.

Unless you are the owner of the computer you're acting on you have no right to mess up someone else computer.

What you are trying to do, especially if done suspiciously without user knowledge, is illegal.

It is not the first question you're asking in this direction ...

You have no right to do so if the user you're working with doesn't want it.
Agree with the user, or don't provide him support.

OR ... develop the application so that log files are written with an impersonation different than the one of the logged-on user under a folder granted to that account and not to the user. (But you have to agree about the user's on that machine / domain)

OR ... log into the operating system event-log and access the log via event-viewer (But you have to agree with a computer admin)

But -in any case- don't mess up the user environment.
