you should be aware of the threat by
Mr. Arnold[_4_]
Stupid Usenet users:
I have been away for a while; involuntary confinement in a Lunatic Asylum.
Stupid Vista, the stupid OPs, their stupid questions, and your even more
stupid answers caused this.
Also, everything got on top of me; aunts, uncles, even the family dog.
Gosh, I am sore.
But, I can see light at the end of the tunnel (I think it is a train!)
I try to take my Zoloft hourly (doctor's...

Disable Windows Updates on a user-basis or connection by
Twan
How do I disable downloading Windows Updates on a user or a connection
basis?
Context:
On our laptops we have a specific local user account for connecting to
the Internet by UMTS / HSDPA.
However we don't want Windows to use this connection for downloading
updates.
How to prevent?

ISATAP by
ED
Hi,
Vista SP1 with all updates.
In Device Manager under "Network adapters", I have "isatap.zxcv.com". Does
anyone know what this is?
The driver for it is "tunnel.sys" signed by Microsoft, so what is this
zxcv.com reference?

Vista Security Center by
PA Bear [MS MVP]
What MS updates were installed "the other day"?
Have you contacted McAfee Support about this? Have you purchased McAfee
Security Center or is it a freebie from your ISP?
Has another McAfee application every been installed? Has a Norton
application ever been installed?

mouse moves on its own by
puthp
hi,
i know this sounds a little strange, but a few times now (in past few weeks
since i've upgraded to vista) i've found the mouse has moved on its own.
initially i thought perhaps i had moved the mouse, and there had been a
delay in what i saw on-screen, so i ignored it. but just now, i put my hand
on the mouse but didn't move it at all... and it very very quickly whizzed to
the right, and...

Documents and settings is not accessible. Access is denied. by
Jimmy Brush
Hello,
If you have disabled the hiding of operating system files, you will see what
appear to be system folders with familiar names like "Documents and
Settings" and "My Music". They are shown with a transparent icon and a
shortcut arrow.
These are not really folders and contain no data. They are only there to
assist some old programs. Windows Vista has moved or renamed many familiar
locations.

No sounds on Vista. by
news.microsoft.com[_10_]
Sounds are turned on in Vista yet they don't play. What setting could I
have missed and what can cause sounds to stop playing? The speakers work
fine. All connections are secure. The little speaker icon is also missing
from the taskbar.
How can I get that back? TIA.......

Documents and settings is not accessible. Access is denied. by
Wandering[_2_]
In Vista, Documents and Settings is not a folder and you cannot store
anything in it. It is a junction point that serves only to send anything on
to the proper folder User folder where such things are stored in Vista. I
know it looks like a folder, but it is NOT. It is more like a shortcut, and
by way of analogy, you know you cannot store anything in a shortcut. It is
there so that older...

Normal behavior. That's only a shortcut for use by older programs.
You want "Documents".

Recommendations for Anti malware on Home premium by
Gordon[_5_]
I've just ditched OneCare owing to the total inability of MS support to
understand and reply to an infuriating but very straightforward and simple
problem I had with it.
So I need recommendations for a (hopefully) free Malware app that I can set
a schedule up in. (I already have Acronis Home for backup and I'm trying
Antivir for AV)
Thanks

Documents and settings is not accessible. Access is denied. by
Jon Wallace
Hi,
On Vista, C:\Documents and Settings is not actually a folder, it's a
symbolic link. The folder containing the user data is C:\Users...
Where C:\Documents and Settings\John Doe would have existed, it's not
C:\Users\John Doe - the Docs and Settings link is provided for backward
compatibility for applications...
Hope this helps,

Documents and settings is not accessible. Access is denied. by
R. C. White
Hi, ITNews.
Documents and settings is a folder in WinXP and prior. It does not exist in
Vista, except as a "Junction Point" for the benefit of legacy programs that
have not been updated to work in Vista.
In Vista, look in each user's Documents folder. By default, find each one
in:
C:\Users\username\Documents

Dave[_29_]
In Vista, it's not a folder.
Vista uses a different file structure than XP does/did. Those familiar
folder names you may be used to, like "My Documents", "Documents &
Settings", etc.
are not folders in Vista. They are junction points, and are used for legacy
programs which were written to utilize the XP file structure. They will
redirect the programs to use the equivalent Vista folders.
