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

This is a workaround technique we use for Vista quite successfully and I
imagine Win 7 would be the same. Are you sure its the c file that is giving
the problem? If the c compiler is also legacy could it be attempting to
create intermediate files in the 'current' path or some other inaccessible
place? Does your code generator have any options for setting paths for the
compilation? Some compilers may use environment variables to set paths.

Well we learn something every day. Never heard of symbolic links before but
they look interesting. I see the author of the Link Shell Extension had some
problems with UAC - maybe you should write to him and see if he can shed any
light on the matter.
