Fastcopy v3.13 x64 Windows 10 issue

[bahadi...@gmail.com]

Hi there,

This is not a question but i wanna inform u about a bug. According to my experiences: if u give administrator privileges (run as an administrator) to the fast copy as a default choice; shell extension is not working. U cant neither copy nor paste with fastcopy with right click menu. If you cancel it, the tool works flawlessly. 

Thanks in advance,

Thank you for your report.

But I can't confirm it.

Can you tell me in the following?

1. OS version?

2. UAC is enabled?

3. How to reproduce it? (details/steps)

[bahadi...@gmail.com]

OS: Windows 10 Enterprise x64

UAC is disabled (Never Notify)

After the installation, right click on the .exe file at the installation folder -> properties->compatibility-> Run this program as an administrator -> change settings for all users 

According to my experiences if the fastcopy has admin privileges, the installed context menu shell (copy (fastcopy) and paste (fastcopy)) is not working. When i remove the admin rights, everything goes normal. This is not a serious problem but i just wanna inform and help. I dunno maybe this problem was caused by another installed programme on my computer... :)

Thanks in advance,

Thank you for your report.

I understood this situation very clearly.

FastCopy Shell extension runs in explorer as normal privilege.

And it uses CreateProcess("fastcopy.exe") with pipe(as stdin) for selected/dragged files information.

But creating process *.exe that requires admin privilege, it requires admin privilege, so it will fail.

To elevate admin process, it can't use CreateProcess, but it can use ShellExecuteEx("runas") hack. but it can't pass pipe(as stdin).

So, to resolve this problem, it requres to modify "passing selected/dragged files information mechanism", and it is not very easy :-)

In the future, it will be implemented when the shell extension will be required to modify for other big futures.

Io ho da poco win 10 pro 64 e mi capita la stessa cosa. Ho dato i diritti di Admin a FastCopy e da shell quando faccio copy non succede niente, non si apre nessuna finestra. Allora devo prendere il link a FastCopy sul desktop, aprirlo con diritti admi e allora tornando nella finestra di FastCopy riprende a funzionare... Cosa posso fare? Grazie Ciao

For now I have removed run as administrator in the "compatibility" section of the properties of the exe file, and I manage like this.

I noticed that in the shell (under the closing x) there is "Elevate", clicking on it becomes Admin. What do you think about it? 

Thank you all

Per ora ho tolto esegui come amministratore nella sezione "compatibilità" delle proprietà del file exe, e mi arrangio così. 

Ho notato che nella shell (sotto la x di chiusura) c'è "Elevate", cliccandoci diventa Admin. Cosa ne pensi?
Grazie a tutti
