Capillaries Exercise Broken

strange rights behavior in Windows 7

Habe kürzlich ein recht seltsames Verhalten von Windows 7 Pro 64-Bit bemerkt, was den Zugriff auf Ordner angeht.

Folgendes Scenario: Ein Programm, welches ursprünglich für Windows 2000 und Windows XP 32-Bit geschrieben wurde unter Windows 7 Pro x64 ausführen, in diesem Fall eFrontier Poser 6 und über The Save File dialog a new subfolder in My Documents "Creating (right-click in the window and" Create Folder "choose - not the" Create Folder "button!).

The folder is created normally, but a small yellow lock will hold the folder icon.

In this folder you can now save documents as usual out of P6. If you try to go to find this folder in Windows Explorer does not - it is simply not there, normally one would expect that there is an access problem for managing rights and if the rights in the security settings of the parent folder (with inheritance) to the current user ( ! admin rights) transfers - should be not only see the folder but also on access to - nil!

only workaround that I could find so far was that in the "My Documents" folder and go in the Explorer create a folder such as "dummy", then go to P6 and in the Save File dialog the folder with the lock, with the right mouse button, click ( yes, there appears select the copy still on), "copy" and the folder in the "dummy" Orner. Now this works without problems.

Unfortunately I can not see any Erklährung for the strange behavior, including a review of the hard drive, searches using the search tool for the folder and contained documents and brought the system to restart nothing - on Windows 7, it looks like as if the folder is not just there - almost as if it were stored in an alternate NTFS stream - The program, however the folder is already visible, and also the documents can be opened.

Back to the dummy folder: Once you have copied the folder into the alleged dummy folder, it can also be seen in Windows Explorer and normal use. In P6 we should delete the source folder was causing the problem, otherwise you müllt visible at some point full of folders that are not seen easily.

behave now that I have previously noted in 3 different programs that I had previously thought because the time a Windows Update would come out, that fixes the problem. In my opinion, there is a problem with the rights of older programs from one old function to use in the Save File dialog, and the Windows 7 "forgotten" apparently has the phenomenon also occurs, strangely enough, only if, instead of "folder" button in the Save File dialog with the context menu works. Does anyone

'nen constructive proposal as is correct?
