Why cannot copy autorun.inf across network drive

[dingdongdingding]

I've copied a CD software into my harddisk. Then I copy to another

PC. But I find that it's not possible to copy the autorun.inf over.

"Access is denied" I wonder why ?



Thanks

One solution (among many):

1. Open autorun.inf in Wordpad as if to edit it.

2. Save it to the HD location as AUTORUN.INF.

Hi !

I'm more interested to know why it cannot be copied over rather

than how I can copy over... but thanks anyway.

So you mean that if I were to save it to a file with upper case

filename, it should work ? Can't I just rename it ?



Thanks.
