Aaarrgh… So I’m really trying this time to give least privilege development in Vista a try, but it’s just like hitting walls everywhere.

So here’s a real simple thing: Trying to add a new file to a project and as soon as I do I get:

What’s odd about this is that the folder above actually has FULL rights for the current user – it’s after all in the user’s specific directory where the user has full rights. Yet Visual Studio will simply not add the file. And the file WAS in fact created – Default.aspx exists in that folder and permissions to that file as well allow access to this user Admin (who’s not an Admin user <g>). The file’s also not marked read only so it can be overridden and in this case the file was written with my specific custom template – so VS.NET obviously has rights to get there.

In a desperate call to get this to work I added User and then EveryOne with full rights in users temp folder and it STILL isn’t working.

This is a horrible way to start out on this...
