    Is it possible to do that? I don't want to use UAC Virtualization or to use admin privileges for that (right click->Run As Admin). I just want to know if it's possible to do it under any configuration, but it must be standard account. Thanks!

      You can change the permissions on the folder to give the Users group write access. But keep in mind the security implications; if a standard user can write there, so can any malware the user tries to run (or is tricked into running).
