I dont get it. I think this topic is still relevant for Windows Since Windows 8 the Program Files are heavy protected, when you want to copy files from network to it or edit files in it, like. A workaround they mention is to copy the files first to your desktop and then to the Program Files directories. That proves that this is a totally stupid and thoughtless restriction because the desktop is a redirected folder on exactly the same server as the one i am copying from.
It is the exact same server. Why does Windows think that one share on the server is safe, another is not?
This has to be either a bug or a stupid design that has to be changed. Things like that make people angry because they do not see a good reason for it. I am all for security but things like this are not reasonable and just cause people to wanna downgrade back to Windows7 or find ways to turn "protection" like that off.
So to be more productive, is there a way to tell Windows that my Installation share is as safe as the desktop? Copying to desktop first is not a long term solution for me and my people here I just found out, however, that opening the share directly in explorer works.
So I think the problem lies in the fact that I mounted the share as a network drive. Not sure I understood that correctly. Maybe it is easier to find ways to use the share without mounting it as a drive in explorer. However, that is the most convenient way for users. When you see error "the path or file is not available", you could access the mapped drive and only couldn't copy file to local driver, right?

Yes, I double click on the registry file, so it is definitely visible in explorer. After double clicking on the registry file, I am asked for elevated rights which I approve, then I get this error message:. I have read through this for the last hours now and I changed the way the network drive is mapped in the domain from using a logon.
The drive mapping was successful although it took longer to be mapped using launchapp. Solution 2 using UNC path works but that is not very userfriendly.
Next I will look into solution 3 Using group policy preferences. However, at least one of the mentioned solutions doesnt work. IMO this whole design is flawed. So many weird workarounds just to get a simple network drive to work?!? I tried solution 3, using Group Policy preferences to map the drive instead of using logon scripts.
I tried with and without the option to map the drive in the users security context. Neither one solves the problem. I still cannot copy from that mapped drive to Program files and I still cannot double click on registry files. The first one doesnt apply because there are no spaces in the path and the shell open command value already contains the quotation marks. And use the Disk cleanup tool to clear the disk fragment. Meanwhile, run chkdsk command to fix the disk error:. Office Office Exchange Server.
