Hmmmm I use -> https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.io.isolatedstorage.isolatedstoragefile.getuserstorefordomain?view=net-5.0 so not sure how to change that.

I am open to changes @Clancey I think added this originally....

Switching it to https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.io.isolatedstorage.isolatedstoragefile.getuserstoreforapplication?view=net-5.0 might fix it? I am unsure.
