No, that flag (MoveFlags.AcrossVolumes, which corresponds to MOVEFILE_COPY_ALLOWED and has the integer value of 2) is present on the two-argument version of MoveFile. Are you using the three-argument version and specifying MoveFlags.None (0) instead? That's certainly not going to work.

I admit I haven't tested the inter-volume move, but according to MSDN it should work. You can check the source if you like; that isn't a recent change.

WELL, to tell the truth, I'm not quite interested in figuring out every single capability's usage.. In fact I'm trying to push all the capabilities together in the registry and create one like "ID_CAP_ROOT_ACCESS" then it will be more convenient..
Where are stored the capabilities in the registry ?

and maybe you know where are stored the system URI´s like "ms-settings..."

Just a suggestion:

use this code for a better filesize display (KB and MB):

Code:
                    double num2;
                    string str;
                    if (fi.Size > 1048576)
                    {
                        num2 = (double)fi.Size / 1048576.0;
                        str = num2.ToString("N2") + " MB";
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        num2 = (double)fi.Size / 1024.0;
                        str = num2.ToString("N2") + " KB";
                    }
                    this.Size = str;

Agreed. All possible units should be displayed.

Beside I´m missing the "rename function" which I have allready coded for my app.
rename and folder create are the features that I forgot... I will add them in the next release.
This is really a rough project that I've only spent minutes on designing the UI.. Maybe on the next weekend I will try to make it better.

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SecurityManager\
Things are interesting in it. At least I know that we can edit every app's capability by editing the registry...
I don't really know much about those uri ..

I don't really like the copy, move, etc functions in the appbar (just my opinion), maybe you should also add a context menu for files with the copy, delete, move operations like in Heathcliff's WP7 Root Tools. You can find the context menu in the wptoolkit NuGet package.

I disagree. The fileoperations in appbar are on the right place, because a context menu takes more time to open.

That´s the reason why the next version of my app will have all fileoperations in the appbar, too.

Well, it's just my opinion. I don't care if it takes more time, it just feels more natural that way. Having both options would make me happy though :)
