%SYSTEMROOT% is C:\Windows, not C:\.
I too cannot access C:\Windows\Temp at all without escalating permissions. Neither can I write to anything in C:\Windows as described in the original source without escalated permissions.
I'm a little puzzled about what would stop someone with the same permissions from doing exactly the same thing with the fully qualified name.
- enzanki_ars 9y agoI need to test this later as I only have access to an unprivileged account at the moment, but based on comments online (https://stackoverflow.com/a/11917816 https://stackoverflow.com/a/11917816), C:\Windows\Temp (%systemroot%\Temp redirects here, and is the folder Skype accesses from, is write only for unprivileged users (FILE_ADD_FILE). Preliminary testing shows that I was able to write there with out any problem. No way for me to read it at the moment though... Edit: As noted by another user here, yes, it is writeable. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16367722 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16367722
