On a Windows Vista-based computer, you want to suspend a Distributed File System (DFS) share root or directory tree by using the SuspendRoot method. You expect that this operation requires you to have only the local administrator permission on the computer. However, you cannot suspend the DFS share root or directory tree unless you also have read permission to the DFS.

On a Windows Vista-based computer, you want to suspend a Distributed File System (DFS) share root or directory tree by using the SuspendRoot method. You expect that this operation requires you to have only the local administrator permission on the computer. However, you cannot suspend the DFS share root or directory tree unless you also have read permission to the DFS.

When you try to start a program that must run with elevated permissions on a Windows Vista-based computer, you may receive an error message that resembles the following:

The directory name is invalid.

This issue occurs if the following conditions are true:

• User Access Control (UAC) is enabled.
• The system Temp folder does not exist.
  Note: Typically, the system Temp folder resides in the following location

  %windir%\Temp directory

Consider the following scenario.

• On a computer that is running Windows Vista, you configure Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 to use a digital signature when you send e-mail.
• You import a digital ID into Outlook 2007.
• The digital ID includes a Cryptography Next Generation (CNG) key.

In this scenario, the Request For Permission to Use a Key dialog box appears whenever you try to send an e-mail message. After you grant Outlook 2007 permission to use the digital ID, Outlook 2007 successfully sends the e-mail message.

Note: When you try to send the e-mail message, you may also be prompted to enter the password of the digital ID. This situation depends on the security level that you specify for the digital ID.

When you try to modify the Parental Control settings in a 2007 Microsoft Office program on a Windows Vista-based computer, you receive the following error message:

Note: The Parental Control tool contains settings to help users control the Research task pane in the 2007 Office programs.

You are working in a Terminal Services session in Windows Vista. When you try to save a document in a 2007 Microsoft Office program to a redirected drive, you receive the following error message:

There has been a network or file permission error. The network connection may be lost.
(\\tsclient\Path\FileName.docx)

Therefore, you cannot save the 2007 Office document to the redirected drive.

This problem occurs when the Terminal Services session is initialized by a Remote Desktop Connection 6.0 component. By default, the Remote Desktop Connection 6.0 component is included in Windows Vista. The Remote Desktop Connection 6.0 component can be installed manually on earlier versions of Windows.

Consider the following scenario. On a Windows Vista-based computer, you try to move a read-only file or a read-only folder from a shared folder. This shared folder is located on a Microsoft Windows 98 Second Edition (SE)-based computer. In this scenario, you may receive an error message that resembles the following:

Destination Folder Access Denied
You need permission to perform this action

After you click Retry or Cancel, you press F5 to update the screen. Then, you find that the file or the folder has been copied instead of moved.

In Windows Vista, you try to delete a subfolder of a shared folder on a computer that is running Microsoft Windows 98 Second Edition (SE). However, you cannot remove the subfolder, and you may receive an error message that resembles the following:

Destination Folder Access Denied

This problem occurs even if the shared folder is configured for Full Access permissions. Additionally, this problem occurs whether you configure a password, or you do not configure a password.

You use the File Sharing Wizard in Windows Vista to share a folder, and then grant Contributor permissions to a user for that folder. However, when the user tries to access the folder, the following problems may occur:

• The user cannot locate the folder.
• The user can delete files or folders that have been created by other users.

In Windows Vista, when you try to save a file to a hard disk or to a flash device, you may receive one of the following error messages:
