Hi group! In terms of security, how does drag-and-drop function in windows? Is the clipboard involved? would a keylogger be able to record this? Pretty technical, too far above my head! To be more specific, I am setting up a password manager (Open source Keepass) that allows one to drag-and-drop encrypted passwords at the sites you have subscriptions to. This would seem to be secure. Any...

The printer will NOT print as long as UAC is enabled but WILL print when UAC is turned off. I did post this question in...

Until recentlyI've been a Win98SE man and had Zone Alarm Free firewall installed. Never a problem in nearly 10 years. Although fairly comp literate I've never really "got to grips" with the workings of FWs. Recently bought a new computer and the OS is Windows Vista Home Premium---64 bit. If I choose to install Zone Alarm Free, (which I have currently), should I

I want to only use USB key + PIN. Why? Although technically the PIN is stored on the USB KEY as 6 sets of 8 digits, if I accidentally leave the USB key in. Anyone can boot up computer. With a 4 digit pin, this might take a little longer. So, is USB Key + PIN possible? Since, all the official documents point to not possible, I'm wondering if I'm heading in the wrong direction. --

Please, please can some one help me... I am trying to run a batch file in vista as an administrator. I know I can use the RUNAS command, but this prompts me for a password.

What I am looking to do is to replicate the behaviour of Right Clicking on...

I've got a new laptop running Vista Business. Once I booted the machine, I went into Advanced User, and saw that the option to require users to Ctrl+Alt+Delete was greyed out. I proceeded to join the pc to the domain, and when the screen came up it was at sign-on, no Ctrl-Alt-Del. I launched gpedit.msc on the laptop and changed the Interactive login: Do not require CTRL+ALT+DEL to disabled....
