Have not had this pop up in a long time, never found out why it happens.

It's very simple. This is Windows error ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED(0x05) = Access
is denied. That means write access is not possible (see attached
screenshot).

As I understand it, "W:\" is a mapped drive and it is not available (or not
writable) at the moment (perhaps "connection" lost, blocked by a protection
software, etc.).

BTW, and please note the double backslash ("\\").

This is an interesting reading for UAC-aware operating systems.

And very often, on non-UAC-aware operating systems, the problem occurs
because the user credentials are not saved for the mapped drive. When the
system tries to "reconnect" the mapped drive to the UNC path, the system
uses the current logon credentials. If the current logon credentials do not
have access permissions to the UNC path, the system cannot reconnect the
mapped drive to the UNC path.

Hope this helps a bit.

Thanks Friedrich,

It appears that I need to go review the docs :) - have not seen one of these
pop up in years.
