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
