Network drive is unavailable when pasting into root C drive

Post by TMProjection »

Hey guys, i have a network drive mapped to F: letter
However, whenever i want to paste something to the root of my C drive, or
C:\Program Files (x86)
something that needs more admin priviledges i believe
i get this error come up (please look at attachment)
to get around it i have to paste it into say:
C:\new folder
first, any ideas where this is coming from?

Might it be a permissions issue on the mapped drive?

I guess you mapped the drive as admin and trying to use it with normal privileges.
Drive mappings are user specific.
