It seems Pencil 1.2 needs elevated privileges to run (I get a UAC popup each time I launch it). Windows prevents communication between "normal" and elevated applications for security.

So a workaround is to run your file manager as an Administrator. I just tried it and it works like a charm.

Of course it is easier if you use another file manager than Windows Explorer... If not, maybe this link can help you http://www.petri.co.il/run_windows_explorer_as_another_user.htm
