Saving Files Under Windows -- Py2Exe and Installer

[achrist at easystreet.com]

OK. Here's the next level conundum of this maze of what goes where
and who can do what under Windows.  If I distribute an app as a 
one file distro using py2exe or the McMillan installer, when it runs
IIRC it wants to explode itself back into multiple pieces that are 
deleted at the end of the run.  I'm guessing that this means that
the user must have privileges to create files in the program's
directory.  Is that so?

If Windows is promoting or enforcing a policy of "programs here" and
"files there", with administrator privileges required to create a
file or write to the program files folder, isn't this going to be a
problem?  Best solution if so?
