Ever seen this Windows feature?
So I’m trying to install some management software for our Toshiba phone system, and I keep getting this error:
>”Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.”
And stupid me, I assume it’s a permissions error (that’s what it looks like, right?), but it turns out it’s a security feature that Windows XP SP2 uses to protect the end user from a file they’ve copied from another location. Since I
copied said .exe file from a network share on the network, Server 2003 thought it was a dangerous file, so I couldn’t
get to it anymore. If you want even to execute the file, you have to right-click and go to the file properties and
select “Unblock” in order to stop the OS from stopping you. Kinda silly… I thought I would have seen this issue before.
