OH YEAH! Now that you mention it I have done just that when modifying the HOSTS file too. I have to open notepad as an admin then open the HOSTS file, duh.

You can get around it by modifying the permissions (not advisable) or by running the particular task as an admin. For example if you want to create a txt file, open notepad as an admin and then save the file to the location.

Windows 7 is the same, even logged in as a local administrator all I can do is create a folder at the root of a drive, not a file. I can COPY a file to the root but not create. Haven't cared enough to find what I need to change, it's certainly a permissions issue.

I have a strange issue where if I right click in the root of my D drive and choose "new", the only option I get is Folder. This also happens when I move folders/files from another system (2003 R2) to the D drive of my 2008 R2 server. However, if I create a new folder on the root of that drive and change into that directory I can create a new folder, shortcuts, bitmap image, contact, rich text doc, text files, and zip files. I am logged on to the server via RDP using a Domain admin account. I have confirmed I have full control and ownership, and suspect they are related issues but I'm not sure where else to look. TIA.
