In WinXP SP3, I have a .BAT file on a mapped drive. When I try to run this .BAT file (or even right click->edit) it gives me:
---------------------------
Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
This happens with any .BAT file, no matter what is within the file. If the file is on my local computer (like C:) it will run just fine. If someone else runs it from another computer (on the same mapped drive), it runs just fine.
I have full permissions on the drive; I can edit/delete/save/write/create in that folder and/or .BAT file and I've ruled out permissions being the issue.
It seems like a security prevention, but I can't tell what it would be. It would have to be something on my PC, but I don't use any 3rd party software.
What would cause this error?
.bat
it will not open? What happens if you right click the bat file and choose "open with..." and then pick notepad as the editor?
