I have my kid's parental controls web filter set to medium. Every time she tries to download Yahoo images for reports and such, they are blocked and I have to type in my password. Can I just give her the ability to open these jpeg files without compromising web filters?

Hello all, This might be sucking eggs for somebody out there, but I'm a little baffled. I've just purchased a shiny new ThinkPad, loaded with Vista Business.

I bought a Compaq HP computer in April, and the sales persons (Frys Electronics) said that it came with Windows Vista, the box says it comes with Windows Vista and the computer says it comes with Windows Vista.

I just upgraded to Windows Vista home premium and even though I have added users the Welcome Screen does not appear. The system automatically logs into the first account the Administrator which I have renamed. How do I see the Welcome screen so other users can use the machine? -- DavidP

Hi All I've been tearing my hair out on this one. I'm on a domain using a Vista machine. Under XP, if someone left a computer locked and I needed to log them off I could do so by entering an administrator user name and password. You get a warning and if accepted the user is logged off and we're back to the logon. Job Done! Vista (help) says an administrator can log someone else off but when...

Ok, so i have Vista Ultimate, and per "best practices" i created a Standard user account, and use that for all my computer work. Well, i wanted to use the Backup option and backup some files on an external hard-drive, and when i click on that backup wizard, it tells me i need to log in with my ADMIN account to do it. Apparently you cannot backup when logged into a standard account. Ok, so i...
