| | UAC FAR file copy problem Hello everyone. It seems it is a kind of a bug but I'm not sure. A lot of folders also contain desctop.ini file but as far as I know these files shan't be there 'cos Vista is handling folder icons via the registry store instead of desktop.ini files. It is also sounds like a bug. Anyone can easily review this situation just looking at Videos, Music and all other personal folders. You also can reproduce very strange behaviour, but you need to use FAR file manager. Open it without elevation, switch to some folder in Program Files folder. Try to modify some of the files - success. You can observe the changes saved. But UAC didn't tried to forbid us such actions. The problem becomes more and more complicated when you try to use modified file like you legally do. In my case, I'm using gVIM editor windows port. I had tried to change it's main config file _vimrc. The changes were ok after actions like aforementioned I did. But the editor behaved such like it doesn't know anything about changes. So I just removed the modified _vimrc file using old-good FAR w/o elevation. There was no decline to perform such an operation. But I noted that the _vimrc file remain unremoved. I had looked the contents of this file and noted that the conents were the same as before modification. Wow, that's really sounds like a bug!!! Yours sincerely Alexander. |
