This does'nt happen if i try to copy ot move a file i the C drive with the Explorer File.
The C drive has all the permissions.

Thats normal, the root is write proteced.
Normaly there comes an UAC prompt.
So you have set the UAC to a useless value or disabled.

...So you have set the UAC to a useless value or disabled.

Otherwise, the OP might temporarily run Total Commander "As Administrator" to perform those particular operations [without touching their UAC settings].

You can actually create folders in c:\ without root, just not files! It's probably a security feature, so people can't create a file c:\program.exe which would be launched when using a path like c:\program files\app\app.exe without double quotes.

Maybe the restriction goes back to the use of FAT 16 which could only hold a maximum of 512 files with 8.3 filenames and less with long file names.
