Vista: copy from network to system folders

[marcinkk]

Hi,

I found a little problem when copying data from network to some system folder under Vista. Saving to the system folder is protected by UAC, so Total Commander give me a chance to change the rights to Administrator and make copy operation but ... then, as I guessing, Administrator doesn't have the access rights to the network shared folder (in my configuration connected as network drive in the system). So without administrator rights I can't write the a to the destination folder and with administrator rights I can't read the file from network drive. It is not the bug and I can bypass the restriction by double copy, but maybe it can fixed in some way in Total Commander? I can make described operation by Windows Explorer.

Regards,
MK

I know about this problem, but currently I don't have a good solution. I could copy to temp first and then move it to the correct folder, but this may have other negative side effects.

Yes, this can be quite annoying. I understand it might not be easy to implement this (even though, I think a similar behavior is already implemented when unpacking an archive to a protected folder). But could you at least make the error message better? Currently, a misleading “Access denied” is displayed.
