I restored my vista OS using a system image utility provided by Alienware. It created a backup folder on the c drive with all the old files in it, including user profiles. I changed the owner of all files and folders back to my account and tried to delete it, but got the UAC messages that I need to allow administrator rights to do so.

Sorry but this is very annoying. Installed a program witch needs more then the normal access (like drivers etc.). Get the question at first startup and say its ok, I know the program.

So now I get the question every time and I...

When I visit my daughter in the city, my laptop picks up an unsecured wireless link with a park bench logo. I take this to mean it's a public website, and I use it. My question is, who provides the logo of the park bench, my laptop (Vista) or the wireless provider?

Every single time I log in to Windows, that bloody little pop-up comes in the notification area saying that my UAC is off and that this is a horrible problem. I know it's off. I turned it off.
