Then someone would complain that uninstalling didn't remove all files (the samples could not be deleted when uninstalling since the user might have modified them). Plus, non-admin users don't have rights to edit files installed under the Program Files folder anyway (and even admin users operate without admin rights by default on Vista/7). We could copy the files to a user-writeable path when starting UR, but then the start menu shortcut to the samples wouldn't be correct. And if the sample path wasn't backed up, users would blame us for losing data when the hard drive failed (this is less likely when the user must explicitly create/save the editable file). All in all, it's not ideal but not so simple to improve either.
Maybe the sample files could just have a note entered into them as the top item -- "Remember, this file is read only and won't work for many operations. MAke a copy and that will solve it!!
