Well, first of all, sorry if someone has already posted about these bugs. I
tried searching but I haven't found about them.
I believe they are bugs since my installation is fresh. Here they are:
1 - When I select more then one item (folders or files) and Right-click ->
Send to -> Compressed Zip-Folder I get an "Access Denied" error. I'm sure I
have permission to write on that folder. If I choose just one item (that is
just one file or one folder) then I don't get this error. Then again, I do
have permission to read the files and the folders (actually they are one
folder and two files and they compress OK if I choose them separatedly). I'm
using a third-party compressor, but the Explorer one was very useful.
2 - On Windows Explorer -> Tools -> Folder Options -> View -> Folder View, I
can set the current view for all folders. But Windows Explorer doesn't set it
properly. The Folders that are customized (such as Photos, Videos, etc) are
OK to show as thumbnails. But Windows Explorer simply doesn't set the View I
want for all the other folders. I still see them as "Tiles", the default view.
3 - Windows Movie Maker generates a "General Access Denied Error", so it
will open only if I run it as Administrator.
4 - Finally, the Import pictures from camera also gives me an access denied
error on a folder I have "Full Control" permissions (just like the zip folder
above), my Pictures folder. I changed this folder to another location (so I'm
not using the default C:\Users\[username]\Pictures) but my user does have
Full Control permission on that one too.
These are some annoying bugs I've found on Vista. Somehow I believe they are
all related to UAC. I still haven't tried disabling UAC to see if they are
gone, I will do. But UAC is the core of Vista's security mechanism, so it is
a shame I have to disable it.
I'm using Vista Ultimate 32-bit Box.
If someone, by any chance, has any suggestions I would be very grateful.
Thank you very much,
Andre
