Look up https://www.google.com/#q=c-sharp+environment.specialfolder and if you get stuck, post the code you've tried and the specific problem you're having. — Shannon Holsinger, Sep 14 '16 at 19:29

Almost a duplicate of this one: Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData returns the wrong folder

Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData);

That should get the folder you need then use Path.Combine() to write to a directory in that folder.

var roamingDirectory = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData);
var filePath = Path.Combine(roamingDirectory, "MaxrayStudy\\data.txt");

thanks for answer me I write the 3 lines but I didn't find "data.txt" file :( – MAX.RAY Sep 14 '16 at 19:25
Might not have permissions. Hard to say. Can you create a file there manually and write to it with notepad or something? – KSib Sep 14 '16 at 19:27
yes I can and I run my app As adminaster but it isn't working – MAX.RAY Sep 14 '16 at 19:53
Is it throwing an error? You have to make sure the directory exists. Check out the CreateDirectory() method then try to write the file. – KSib Sep 14 '16 at 20:01

I restart my windows and I write this

string filePath =  Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData);

        filePath= (filePath+@"\MaxrayStudyApp\data.txt");
        string path =Convert.ToString(filePath);
        using (System.IO.StreamWriter file = 
    new System.IO.StreamWriter(filePath,false)){
            file.WriteLine(" XP : 0");}
