Apps don't, Morten. That's why we have operating systems. The app
calls the OS and says "save this stuff to a file named x". The app
has no idea where it's going, or how it's saved and, in some cases, if
the app tries to access the storage medium itself, the OS stops it.
(Try an app that does direct disk access in any version of Windows
newer than 95.)
