Re: [WIN7] Network Share Bug? Standard, not just Windows 7. Network connections and drive-letter mappings are specific to a logon session. And that particular jargon means "not shared between a regular command prompt and a run-as-admin one".
Vista's the same, but it has always(*) been thus. Though UAC makes it easier to bump into the issue, I suppose (who did 'run as' before UAC?)
(*) Well, at least since XP. Windows 2000 was more complicated in that drive letters were global, but there were still protection issues involved. Likely the admin could access the user's drive letters but not vice-versa. |
