V and UAC (UAC Timeout)

ZIP Limitations under Vista

V handles UAC slightly differently to Windows Explorer. When a user first tries to modify the contents of a protected folder, they will be presented with a UAC prompt. However, any further operations within a timeout period will not result in a UAC prompt. For example, if you try to rename 5 files in a protected folder using Windows Explorer, you will receive 5 UAC prompts. In V, you will only receive a single UAC prompt (as long as the delay from one rename to the next is less than the timeout). The timeout can be set in the Directory Options tab of Preferences, and defaults to 60 seconds. Specifying a timeout of zero disables the UAC timeout.

Unfortunately, V cannot extract the contents of ZIP files to protected folders. You will receive an error message instead of the expected UAC prompt. I have no intention of fixing this problem at the moment. However, I will be guided by user feedback. If you need to extract files to a protected folder, you can use one of the following workarounds: Extract to a temporary folder and then move the files in the temporary folder to the protected folder Run V as an Administrator. That is, right-click on the V shortcut and select Run As Administrator.
