Script goes well in windows 7 but not in windows 8.1 or 10

tomos:
You also need to check the user rights for the folder you wish to create the new sub-folders into. 'Run as administrator' functionality, as well as UAC, have a different impact in comparison between Windows 7 and 10. Windows 10 protects a lot of folders on the C:\ partition, more harshly then Windows 7 does. Windows 10 also gives me the impression that it protects more folders in this way than Windows 7 does.

It might be an option to add your user account to the list of users that is allowed to read and write in the desired folder (right-click on that folder, select Properties and go to tab Security to add your user account).

Something else to consider: The first (local) user account that you create in Windows is usually associated with two standard Windows user groups, called 'Users' and 'Administrators'. When accessing any folder on that computer, Windows will check what user and user group rights are configured at that folder. Windows will always default to the most restricted access to that folder, if a user is part of multiple user groups. This behavior is preferable for your own security.

Removing the associated user group 'Users' from your user account would help Windows making up its mind on how much access rights it should grant to your user account for any folder. Doing this on a single user PC is not a security problem. With a multi-user system it could be. When another user executes some malware which takes a peek at user group associations for all (local) accounts to find out which ones to target (first).

The UAC is disabled . Do you recommend me enable the service again in the registry ?

hi Contro,
I think you did not understand Shade's suggestions:
paragraphs 1 & 2 and para 3 & 4 have different suggestions. Did you try google translate?

Shades I don't know how to operate your advice. How can I vary the options to make certain this is the issue ?
Best Regards

Contro:
How can i vary the original script for not to be necessary have administrative rights ?
How can i vary the original script to go well without need of special configurations ?
I am the only user. I don't need certain types of securities.

P.D. Besides obviously the script from skwire don't have those problems and is in AHK also. So I think is possible.

right click on the folder.  Properties.  Click the security tab.  Make sure that the user that you're running the script under has rights.
