Windows 7 program files folder

I have an application contained in a folder that uses temporal files stored in its own folder. If I copy it directly to "Program Files" folder it fails to find the route to its own 开发者_开发问答subfolders but if I copy it to any other folder and perform any action there (such as create a file in my app's folder) and then move it to "Program Files", everything works perfectly fine.

¿Any idea on the reason why can this be?

Any chance that this has something to do with the space between Program and Files? I find it hard to believe that it only doesn't work with the specific folder.
