'Permission Denied' Error 70 on Windows Temp Folder

[brayogee]

Hi,
I use the Windows Temp folder (extracted using the
'FSO.GetSpecialFolder(2)' function) to create a temp file for use in
loading icons (as BLOB/binary stream data).

The steps include getting this Temp folder path, destroying or even
overwritting any similar temp file before manipulating new icon data.
The file is destroyed when each icon data processing is complete.

I'm however getting a 'Permission Denied' Error 70 at times yet these
file operations are carried out using the Windows Temp Folder to which
I believe every logged on Windows User should have access to.

This 'Permission Denied' error 70 seems to cause a subsequent 'Write to
file failed.' error '3004' which seems to occur after it.

The affected PCs so far seem to Windows XP machines with and without
Service Pack 2.

Anyone experienced a similar problem? What could be causing this
windows problem?

Thanks.

Thanks. The logon Windows accounts are non-admin to the local PCs.

Must the account being set to take ownership of the folder be an admin
account to the local PC to appear in the 'Name List'?

I don't seem to see any non-admin accounts so select from the name
list.
