Heh - I wouldn't blame it all on Bill Gates.
I see the logic behind the scheme - it is to protect users from harming their operating system files and to prevent malware from doing Bad Stuff(tm) to your computer. It's a tradeoff.
Yes, if you have any more information I would love to know. Some programs seem to work fine, others fail. But it changes with time!

I do a lot of work on PIC microcontrollers. All my project folders are off the root of C:. And there is no bother editing, compiling, working on PCB layouts, everything normal, in fact, in those folders. But when I create a folder C:\Root, I couldn't even get Notepad to save to a file there. I can create and delete files - but not modify them. Except all the work folders which seem quite unfazed by the shift to Win7.
are there too many files in the root dir?
We need to call an end to this thread - Euphoria isn't the right place to air my Win7 problems, though I greatly value the input of so many knowledgeable guys. But if you DO have any more suggestions, I will be very pleased indeed to entertain them.
you might try including a manifest file with either the translated program or bin/eu*.exe, in the same directory, prog.ext.manifest
do a search on your system for other manifest files, I notice some of them have permissions and security sections that may be help, although I have no specific information about how. for ex: a manifest may make the problem worse! if running in some automatically imposed compatibility mode the manifest may simply be ignored. that coupled with the intermittent nature of the problem is a powerful time sink.
you would think someone would have created a manifest editor by now, but I have not seen one mentioned anywhere.
