Why do Windows 7 & 8 have different default behaviour when trying to modify contents of protected folder
- by Ben
Here's the situation: I have a Windows 7 PC and a Windows 8 PC and I'm logged in as the same domain user on both machines. My domain user is in the local Administrator group on both.
When I run cmd.exe on each machine and then attempt to do this (also on both machines)
mkdir "c:\Program Files\cheese"
the Windows 8 PC gives an "Access Denied"…
