lets assume that Supriatna is using WinXPHome, if thats the case then there 
are
no permissions to deal with (they have been neutered - it encourages people 
to
waste their money on WinXPPro [which comes with added false sense of securit
y]).

just to be clear: Smarty needs write permissions somewhere because it create
s compiled
versions of your templates and needs to store them somewhere, Smarty also ha
s the ability
to cache output - in which case it needs write permissions for that also, ch
eckout
the $smarty member variables:

$smarty->compile_dir
$smarty->cache_dir

like someone else mentioned, many people write wrapper classes for Smarty (i
.e. a subclass)
that do all the configuration 'automatically' - this is a neat way of encaps
ulating
your personal settings for Smarty!

Slightly OT but I use NuSphere TechPlatform for Windows for all development,
it comes with its own installer. I also use smarty on windows along with a
lot of PEAR classes, all with no trouble...
