Impact if not fixed:  Apps mustn’t store data in system folders, such as
%SystemDrive% or %WinDir%. Storing app and user data in a system folder can
cause access and security problems for the user. Using the Known Folder APIs
ensures that you are always able to get to your data. 

How to fix:  Write the files to the correct folders. See link below for more
