It's been a while since this post so you may have found the solution to your issue. Quick troubleshooting steps in case you haven't: - is the user account an Administrator? - is the user account password protected? -- xqas Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com |

But I would have been pretty happy if it had been answered at some point. Got here looking for an answer regarding this problem in IE on a client computer. The age of the correct answer is generally not a problem on machines that haven't seen an update since 2007. Shall I post the answer when i fix it, or will that label me as a noob, and cause me to be banished to the snob free world of "I fix computers for a living and don't spend my time posting non answers regarding actual problems land". Almost forgot my cute sig (sorry no animations i'll work on it) My wife claims all life's little problems can be handled with a ball peen hammer and duct tape...I prefer a mixture of stainless brass and lead. -- geekarmyofone Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com |

Just in case I need to mention the following. If the system is booted in
Administrative mode the it obviously will not show. Have seen this numerous times. Not to say this is the case with you but just a small heads up since you said Clients Computer -- Peter Please Reply to Newsgroup for the benefit of others Requests for assistance by email can not and will not be acknowledged.

Not so on my machine, nor does the idea really gibe with the way the whole
thing is set up in the Registry. The structures are in the main, system-wide "Local_Machine" hive. It would cost a lot of time and energy to make it all behave differently just because you are logged on as Administrator or some other User. I'd be interested in hearing about any encounters you've had where the "Run as Administrator" option disappeared just because you're logged on as Administrator, but are all properly displayed if logged on as any other User. I'd be interested in how it's done. Meanwhile, now that you mention it, I'll be checking every system I touch for the next while, ;-) -- Ronin "Peter Foldes" wrote in message ...

Sorry, had to move on to other problems; it looks like just the IE icons on the desktop and quick launch were missing this option, it worked on the source exe and subsequent shortcuts. They were either corrupted by malware or the shotgun scatter of barely useful and probably conflicting cleaners, sweepers and fixers (many of which were fake). Machine is clean, only tool i cannot get to run is BDO scan. Didn't Bit defender used to run in Firefox too?? Maybe tomorrow. -- geekarmyofone Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com |
