UAC configuration ?
I believe I saw a link to some documentation about configuring UAC but I can
no longer find it. Could someone point me to some documentation that will allow me to configure UAC and remove some of the frustration before I turn it off for good? Thanks for any help.

Jimmy Brush has some good information about UAC on his website, as a place to start with understanding UAC. http://www.jimmah.com/vista/category.aspx?id=security Whenever I install Vista, I start by turning UAC off, installing any additional software and set my preferences. I then make a new user called "Elevated User" with a password. Then I downgrade my main account to a standard user. Finally, I turn UAC back on. I rarely see a UAC prompt with everyday use. Mark

UAC configuration ?
Thanks for the tip. I'll look into it. I was barely coping with the prompts
when I was blocked from deleting files in the Windows.old directory when I needed to free up disk space. It put me over the edge. "Mark D. VandenBerg" wrote: "Bill U" wrote in message ...
