What folder exactly? If its a system folder, you might have to give elevated privileges to your program. Start by restarting your application as administrator.

You cannot write into the root of your C: drive unless the program runs with administrator privilege, which you can set in your application's manifest. It is also not recommended that you save files in this location, you should use one of the user or public folders.
