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.
