I tried explorer++ for awhile, and I like its capabilities - but it's too slow to load. Explorer pops right up - subsecond. Explorer++ takes a couple of second - and I hate that. :-P

It's basically completely broken. Just like the OP, I have drives permissioned with only Administrators:F and System:F. When opening that drive, one would expect to get a UAC prompt, but none is to be found. I recently came across http://blogs.technet.com/b/elevationpowertoys/archive/2009/11/20/explore-as-administrator-powertoy.aspx which mentions using http://explorerplusplus.com/ which will run elevated. So far, I like it quite a bit, but I'm not a huge fan of adding another app to my environment, so I'd prefer a native solution. One somewhat klunky option is to use the Open File dialog box in an elevated notepad session. Ideally, I'd like to find out how to use the Open File dialog from an elevated command line. I too am a huge fan of the CLI, but sometimes the GUI is just easier. From: Michael B.

Disable UAC or use the File Server / Shares MMCs (elevated, of course) instead of Windows Explorer. Regards, Michael B.
