Permissions problem on windows 8

[jmfjohn]

Hi,

I'm running windows 8 enterprise x64 and total commander 8.01 x64 and I'm experiencing a strange problem: trying to do file operations (copy, create dir etc) on some directories fails because of access denied.

I'm running TC as administrator, I am an administrator on the machine and also, when the prompt appears in TC, I select "as administrator" and enter my credentials. The operation still fails.

The same things work fine with Windows Explorer: I get the permissions prompt, click "continue" (as administrator) and the operation succeeds.

Is this a known problem?

Thanks!

No, I haven't experienced such a problem yet. Can you give me some folder names where this happens? And could you check their permissions via Alt+Enter? There are some folders like "System Volume Information" where not even the elevated admin has write rights.

The Explorer works differently, it just grants these rights to the user. I think that this is very risky. You may try to grant these rights yourself via Alt+Enter if you really need to write to these folders.

Sure: one such folder is C, the root. Another is the inetpub\vvvroot folder (IIS folder). (sorry for the "vvv", using "w" the forum says I'm not allowed to post URLs yet :p)

Effective permissions show that my user has full permissions for everything (as it should, since I'm administrator).

Let me know if there's more info I can supply.

Thanks!
