New Bug Already for Windows 7


Recommended Posts

Yep at least it got discovered quickly. I am using the X64 edition so it apparently doesn't affect me. I actually filed a bug in the Beta way back in build 7000, where I had problems saving downloads to a folder on the root of a drive unless I ran IE in Admin mode, wonder if this is an offshoot of the same bug. If it is, I am laughing because the person from Microsoft I consulted with kept insisting that it was "by design".

Here's a super-duper secret: there are more bugs, they just haven't been discovered.

Even bigger super-duper secret: there always will be bugs.

Epitome of super-duper secrets: software will never be perfect.

No reason to get angry because it's the nature of the business.

"But to "make sure that this update does not affect your user experience," Microsoft recommends reinstalling Windows 7 from a clean, formatted partition, then immediately running the Cleanwin7 tool, apparently because the newly created folder do not inherit the proper security descriptors. Even after the tool is run, Microsoft says, the permissions/descriptors will not be propagated to any subdirectories. "

I don't get this part...it says we should run the tool immediately from a reformat, but then says that it still won't fix the problem?? what??

OH MY FLAMING GOD, I'm so uninstalling the RC and moving to a cave.

primexx, it's saying that the fix won't correct the permissions for subfolders created prior to the tool being run. Folders created after it has been run will inherit the correct permissions. In other words, if you run it right after installing, the folders created after that point will be fine.

Yours is different, and IS by design. Standard users don't have write access to the root of the system drive by default.
