Get rights for my WPF application

Alessio Elia asked:

Hi all,
I've a question for you:
I've developed a WPF Application and created it's setup file (with the visual studio installer tool).
Now i've a problem:
My application needs to use (read and write) some files.
Every attempt to access to these files fails (Access denied).
These files stay in the application folder (C:\\Programs files\Application Folder...) but can stay in other paths (Desktop or User folder).
If I start application with administrator rights i have access only at files in C:\\program files\application folder ...
How the application gets the rights for the other files access?
Sorry for my poor english :(
Thanks a lot,
Alessio.
