I'm a domain administrator and I'm setting up my first Vista
workstation. I'm trying to copy a users favorites and my documents to
the new pc. I'm logging in as domain admin into the vista machine and
I have browsed to the users pc by \\pcname\c$ and I'm trying to copy
the files to a local folder I created called Temp. When I paste it
will copy some files but some ".jpg" files and some ".url" files will
come back with the error "Destination folder : you need permission to
perform this action" Any ideas, I've tried disabling UAC and took
ownership of the folder I created I don't see how the destination
folder could care what is being put in it????

I've tried everything. I can see/open the files on the remote 2000
machine but if I try and copy any file to the vista machine(any
location) says access denied. I've even created a new folder gave
myself full rights and ownership and changed the permissions on a
remote file to same and still cannot copy.
