Major problems with UAC
There is some evidence that the Toshiba NDSTray utility on this Vista laptop may be interfering with it, though my XP machine is also a Toshiba with that utility, and it doesn't interfere there. I will turn this off next time I reboot and try again. The prog just wouldn't open until I placed that DLL.

Protected Mode
That's because malware can easily install itself into the Programs Files directory in previous versions of the NT based O/S such as XP, Win 2K or non NT the program still needs the UAC privileges to be escalated to do it using Run As Administrator or the program is using the Vista UAC manifest to present

VERY Disappointed with Vista
I decided to downgrde, and it crashed half way through, because XP doesn't like Vista files.

Sure, you can disable it, but with that being done,

Direct acces to .pps annexes in Windows Mail
I transfered the PSTs from a XP-Outlook 2007 machine, via a USB hard drive to the Vista- Outlook 2007 machine. Copied the files to the root C: drive, of the time....that seems bad, since i have outlook open 100% of the time, and outlook has been a conduit for bad security issues...pretty big hole in the UAC?

Major problems with UAC
From another Vista machine, in which I never logged onto before, thus, it created my profile when I logged in the first time. (then download the file locally) From an XP box in which I had logged into previously. (seems my profile may be screwed up w/ some registry setting about help files) I have tried various

where is UAC in the registry?
Open up anything and you got the "hourglass". Lots of UAC interruptions it would seem, but I was also doing admin operations. But it just felt slow. Linux has a good caching system, which means that the more RAM one has, the less likely fragmentation will make all that much difference, as files will be kept in

Dear Microsoft - UAC (.png & wmp) issues should be addressed.
UAC works hand -in-hand with IE 7 to provided IEs "protected mode" (only in Vista). "Protected mode" assures that any downloads from the Internet are routed to the temp offline, or other temp, folder. If it is an application it verifies whether or not the download will ascces protected system files such as the

1 is multiple files and folders to zip creation. 3 is a Windows Movie Maker problem and 4 is importing photos from a camera.

So you really think Linux is better than Vista, do you?
One thing I do like is now with Windows Explorer when you drag and drop files you get a tiny little pop up that TELLS you what folder you're over That's Nice like UAC now, is because sware vendors are STILL shipping games, accounting packages etc. that require you to run with admin rights, after 5 years of XP.

Gonna go back to XP SP2
I was always ultra cautious about .reg files, so I changed the default association to Notepad (so accidental opening wouldn't merge and I could inspect/edit by double clicking - an old XP hangover possibly no longer required with Vista) - but of course this lost me the Merge option on the context menu... so when I

VERY Disappointed with Vista
File Explorer File Explorer is possibly the biggest regression of any Windows feature ever. Just opening a local folder can take 40 seconds while Explorer cost justifiable benefit and moving to XP was painless but less beneficial however I worry about Vista because I can’t see the point of it, yes I know it’s

My take on Vista, former supporter
Vista has a policy which is enabled by default that forces user interaction before the updated files are loaded to the client. The built in Vista drivers don't have this issue but that brings up problem 2. I have a mixture of XP / Vista machines so I need to load compatible drivers on the server so when a
