Hello<br />
<br />
I'm having an issue on one site I have recently &quot;inherited&quot; to update some files in c:\Program Files on a Windows 2008 server.<br />
<br />
Despite being logged as admin and having full control of the folder I can't seem to be copying files into the intended folder<br />

I seem to remember that Windows 2008 brings so extra protection to Program Files - am I missing something obvious here ?
