This object corresponds to a specific isolated storage scope, where files represented by IsolatedStorageFileStream objects exist. Applications can use isolated storage to save data in their own isolated portion of the file system, without having to specify a particular path within the file system. Since isolated stores are scoped to particular assemblies, most other managed code will not be able to access your code's data (highly trusted managed code and administration tools can access stores from other assemblies). Unmanaged code can access any isolated stores.
