Hello, Marco!

Something tells me that solutions here, as you sad, are:
- write smth ( create a file ) and get exception if there is no access
- analyze ACLs

1-st IMO is faster.

I suspect you won't find out unless you try to do it. For example, The ACLs
won't matter on Vista if the interactive user is an administrator but
running as a limited user. An attempt to write could cause an elevation
prompt that could then be denied.
