Creating directory in Program "C:\Program Files (x86)"

[CppHamster]

Good evening everyone!

Is it possible to create a directory into the "C:\Program Files (x86)"?
I've tried, but i couldn't do it.

*the directory "C:\Program Files(x86)\CommonDir" already exists. And there are some folders here (created by installers). I just want to create another directory in this "CommonDir".

*I've tried to run my program as Administator, but there is no result even in this case.

Hi
How did you try ?
If you open a shell in admin mode and do
mkdir fullpath
does it work ?

Also what windows ? after win 7 it became even more locked.

@mrjj My false: powershell in Admin mode solved my problem.
Seems i've run the powershell not in admin mode before. Sorry:)

Thank you!

P.S.: I'm working on Windows 10.
