in thread Azure remote desktop / Issues acessing network drives

Have you looked at Portable Apps? They typically need no rights as they are intended to run off thumb drives & the like - install on the thumb drive on a machine you own, then run on any other machine. I install them on my network server & then run them from whichever machine I need right now. Many of them don't like running on more than one machine at a time, but that doesn't sound like your problem.

I know Midnight Commander only slightly, but this (http://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/freecommander_portable) might be what you want.

    Thanks for the tip on Portable Apps, I'll have a look at them. For now, I've managed to install Midnight Commander, and apart from some weirdness about how far along a copy is (2% .. 3% .. 4% .. 0% .. done) it seems to be working well.
