Very bad idea. Only properly credentialed admins should be creating
directories or files in the root directory. You can overwrite boot files
with viral code if anyone can do it. Look at most of the various forms of
Unix/Linux, and mainframe OSes. The user can create a file if needed by
running his program with a manifest that requires it to have admin rights,
but only for the few that need it. I suspect there is an API for a program
to ask UAC to prompt for rights for the duration of that need, but most of
the time it should remain a standard user.

P.S. I can think of no valid reason for Microsoft Word to have admin rights
to edit/create documents. With all the exploits in Office, why would you
let it?
