File Browser: Operations don't trigger UAC

[BigMike]

This happens in Archive and Explorer Mode:

• Navigate to a folder, which is UAC protected (for example C:\Program Files)
• Right click -> New -> Folder (or any other item)
  => Nothing happens

Expected behaviour: UAC prompt is triggered and a new folder (or file) will be created

Hi @BigMike
I am getting UAC now when creating a folder in C:\Program Files. You’re still not getting UAC?
Anyone else?

Seems to work for me with .59 on Windows 7 (64 bit). (Create “New Folder”, Rename folder and delete folder in “Program Files (x86)” each gave a UAC prompt and worked when I said Yes)

@Brian-Gregory nice, glad it worked. thanks for your help!

[BigMike]

Seems still not working with .59 on Windows 10 1909 32bit.
I have no test machine on x64 - but glad to hear, it’s fixed there…

I have still the problem with 20.00.53 (x64):

Being in explorer view, I try to create a new folder in “C:\Program Files” (right click -> New -> Folder: Nothing happens)

It’s working in folders, where I have write access with my restricted account.

Seems to have returned in the latest 2021 version, logged in for fixing.
thanks @BigMike
