Failure to Save .Config file using C# on Citrix

[Budding Architect]

Hi, I have a C# Windows exe which opens a .config file and tries to write some settings and save the file. It works on non Citrix environment. But on Citrix server it fails with following message - <ExceptionInformation xmlns=""><Exception ExceptionType="System.ApplicationException" Message="Exception occured" Data="System.Collections.ListDictionaryInternal" MachineName="CTRXN" CreatedDateTime="12/6/2011 9:30:03 AM" AppDomainName="WinAp.exe" ThreadIdentityName="" WindowsIdentityName="j5015"><Exception ExceptionType="System.UnauthorizedAccessException" Message="Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation."
