Vista64 - Copy file to protected folder?

[sWiZzLe]

How can i copy a file to either the System32 or SysWOW64 folders in Vista 64?

Ive tried disabling UAC, Safemode, copying from a different os, changing ownership etc Is it not possible?

Cheers

I tried that, it doesn't work

How are you doing it?

Properties, Security, Advanced, Owner, Edit, Select User, Tick Replace box and it gets stuck with an Ignore, Retry Cancel popup

use the proper administrator account. run a command prompt as administrator (well the limited administrator you currently are). type this....

net user administrator /active:yes

now log off and you have a proper account at the logon screen.

Ok I'll give that a go when i get home, cheers.

I take it that will just make the Administrator account visible at logon right?

That didnt work either, gave myself full access on both accounts and it says, as before:

Destination Folder Access Denied

You'll need to provide administrator permission to copy to this folder

Continue ...

You need permission to perform this action

... Hey Mr Gates! May I have permission to access this bloody folder?!

Im sure its not this hard on Vista32 :/

Hello sWiZzLe, I guess the question I would ask is, what is it you are trying to write to folders such as "System32" and "SysWOW64" and why?

To some, im sure it would be

Im gonna give it a go on XP64 instead, cheers for all your input, really not sure what is going on, but cant be bothered to spent ridiculous amounts of time trying to figure this one out

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, i can copy things to those folders, just not the file i am trying to copy, which after discovering it was part of Visual Studio 2005 have decided to leave it well alone.

Sorry Fire Wizard i wasn't being sarcastic, it was a work around for a problem im having with Cubase 64.

Strange thing though..... I tried copying some files to those folders, but after refershing the folder they are nowhere to be seen Bit odd
