Give a program access to C:\xxx\its-own-file.c

Hello.
Actually I'm using Windows 7, but I guess it's all most the same in
Windows Vista and there's no newsgroup for 7's security yet. The
problem is that I have an old-school program that creates its
directory at a hard-corded directory in C's root (C:\xxx). Now, I
don't want to run it with administrative privileges, I changed the
directory's security permissions to (everyone - full control) and make
them inherited to all its sub-directories. The program reads & writes
fine with existing files. But the program creates a c file inside its
directory and tries to let a C compiler on a network drive compile it.
That’s when the problem comes in. It creates the c file all right, but
the c compiler cannot read it (saying “permission denied”).
If I turn UAC off, I don’t get errors, but I don’t want to turn it
off. I’ve tried to give Full-Control to “Everyone”, “Creator Owner”
and “my own account”, but the problem persisted. How can I change a
specific folder’s (C:\xxx) permission settings so that no matter what
program or account do whatever they want in that directory they can do
it?
