    batch convert does not work in restricted user mode (XP)

    batch convert in irfanview 4.10 does not work in windows XP in restricted (ie non-administrator) mode. Instead, the program issues warnings for all files in the conversion batch, stating that "the file already exists", suggesting no conversion whatsoever is taking place.

    reproducible: yes
    procedure: use a restricted access user account in windows XP or make one and then log in to it; open irfanview, run batch convert and load a few images.

    It does not matter what you want to convert to. I used "convert to png" to several folders to which the user account had access - hitting start will now result in a list of error warnings instead of conversions.

    Now switch user to one with administrative rights, or run irfanview as admin using the context menu's "run as" option, and repeat the process: it will work fine.
