| | Can't move a folder Hi, I've got Vista Home Premium, and in the Documents folder are a number of folders. On some folders, when I try to move them to another folder, it works without any prompt (as I would expect). On other folders I get the UAC permission request and after agreeing, it works. And finally, there are some folders where I agree to the UAC prompt and then get an additional window saying "You need permission to perform this action." - I am an administrator on this machine, and the only user. - Some of the folders were copied from my old XP computer, but I haven't been able to tie the failure to move to anything predictable about folder source. - A particular folder will consistently display the same behavior. - I've checked the advanced security properties of both folders (the one I'm trying to move and the one I'm trying to move it into), and I'm owner on both. - I tried enabling the administrator account (based on advice from another thread), but it didn't help so I disabled it again. I'm really puzzled. I'm just trying to move my own folders (not system folders). Just rearranging some old photo folders. Anyone have any idea what's going on? I've searched the groups but didn't find anything quite like this. Or maybe my Google keywords weren't right... ![]() Thanks! |

| | Re: Can't move a folder Sorry for bumping this, but I'm still stuck. If no one knows, I'll open a case with MS tomorrow. Thanks in advance. |
