I start TC as a limited user and try to delete files from temp dir. For some strange reason TC asks for elevation, Windows shows UAC window with login/password fields, I press Cancel, TC tells that it can't start TCMADMIN and triggers UAC again and again for every file.
I can't cancel operation because the only active windows are error message with OK button and UAC window, both modal.
Strange why TC asks for admin when its user has full access to that directory, and when I cancel UAC prompt, TC deletes file anyway.

Can you give me more information when exactly you get this dialog? It doesn't make sense to me, TC aborts the operation when you cancel the UAC elevation dialog...

I still don't get it, sorry. Here is what I tried:
1. Delete from c:\windows\temp - I can enter it only by accepting the UAC dialog, and don't get UAC later when trying to delete someting.
2. Delete two files from c:\windows directly , choose "All as administrator", then click cancel in UAC dialog -> Message that tcmadmin couldn't be started, then message "Error, file x couldn't be deleted, remove write protection" -> clicked Cancel, function stopped. No loop.
What exactly did you do?

OK, if you can reproduce it again, please provide step by step instructions. Normally cancelling UAC dialog should stop the entire delete function and not cause a loop.
