Appplication seems to have less permissions when executed using startup-folder.

Hi,

I have a WPF-application that needs to read the contents of a folder. When the user starts the executable, the application works fine, the files in the folder are found. 

We need to have the application start up after the user logs in, so a shortcut to the executable is set in the startup-folder. After the user logs in, the application starts (under the same user-account), the folder is read, but no contents are found. 

On my dev-environment, which is a stand-alone Windows-environemnt, I don't have any issues.

This is within a enterprise-environment, the client-desktops are within a domain.

What could be the cause of this difference? Any policies that might imply this behaviour?

Thanks in advance.

 

Kind regards,

Chris

Hi,
in your standalone environment you have administrator access, correct?
what are the permissions your user account has on the enterprise active directory?
