Copy File Windows 7

[mailmaverick]

Dear All

I am using FileCopy vba function to copy some files to C:\windows

As per default settings of Windows 7, C:\windows is a protected folder due to which I am unable to copy the files.

My function is working file to copy files to any other unprotected folder such as d:\ABC\

How to achieve copying files to c:\windows folder ?

Hi mailmaverick!

Do not copy anything in the folder C: / Windows, because it is used by the system. It is not impossible to copy there, you just need to give yourself permissions (or privileges to administrator).
Create a folder on the C: drive and put in into your files.

Hi Pan314

Apologies for late replying. Was out of town for some work.

I know that we shouldn't copy to C:\windows but there is a specific reason for me doing that.

In case this is possible by Excel VBA, please help. But please note that I have to copy these files to c:\windows folder of many computers. I wouldn't be able to change administrator permissions for each of them.

Is it possible for copying the files without changing the permissions ?

If not, is there any other way (apart from Excel) to do that ?

Thanks.
