utorrent and teredo by Alex
Hi, I have Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 x64 and today i installed uTorrent 1.8 ( stable ). When I open it ( utorrent ) and I look in "Options - Preferences - ' General '" the Install IPv6/Teredo button is disabled. Why? Is "teredo" enabled by default since I installed the OS? ( I am connected to the Internet by a router through Wireless as connection type. )

The problem that we see is when a client app...

I would like non-Administrative users to be able to run this program with these privileges. I've looked at NTFS permissions...
