Hi,
for your info, and for the record:
having installed podman-desktop 0.9.1 on a Windows 10 machine, I
couldn't initialize it, due to the error message
mkdir C:\Users\jwi\.local\share\containers\podman: Access is denied.
Workaround has been as follows:
1.) Execute the command
podman machine init
as a non-privileged user (myself) failed with the same error.
2.) Execute the command
mkdir C:\Users\jwi\.local\share\containers\podman
as a privileged user (Administrazor) worked.
3.) Repeating the "podman machine init" command as an unprivileged user
works now, and Podman can be started.
What's suprising for me: I would have expected, that I should be able
to create a directory, that is located within my own home directory?

Have you previously run podman init as administrator first time before trying to run it as
normal user?
It seems a directory permissions error to me. Maybe caused by the dirs first having been
created by Aministrator.

You might be able to fix this by resetting podman or just removing those directories with
error and run podman init again.
