Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file........

[Guest Rob]

All, how come, when logged onto a server as the domain admin, I can not

execute any exe or batch files off a different machine? When I do, I get the

error: "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may

not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."

 

If its not an executable or batch file, the app opens fine. Any help would

be appreciated.

Hello Rob,

 

Add it to the trusted sites in Internet explorer.

Directly opening executables or batch files as well as vbs(cript) and

friends is not allowed by the system by default. You need to put the

location from which you're attempting to access the file into the

"Trusted Sites".
