Everytime I log onto my account after a reboot the display settings reset automatically to 8 bit color.

I don't have to do this though when switching between user accounts as in these events my settings are remembered. Other accounts do not have this problem. But not only do they display in...

I'm the administrator and it still asks me for permission to do things like put stuff in the recycle bin. That's redundant and shouldn't pop up. So I turned it off and there's a warning in the quicklaunch tray to turn it on.

However when I tried to access an .exe file I got a error message saying (You don't have permision to open...

I just finished installing Vista RC1 but I cannot log into my profile. After I type in my password it just says: "The User Profile Service service failed the logon. User profile cannot be loaded." Is there a solution for this?

I got tired of having to click on the Startup Programs icon everytime to enable such basic things as my Anti Virus scanner so I decided to disable UAC. I'm not sure why Vista won't just automatically allow a program to startup even though I've manually asked it to many times but that's a different matter. After disabling UAC I noticed that my programs seemed to have reverted back to an...

Hi, how do I enable Windows Autologon? I tried to run "control userpasswords2" command and "Menage your network passwords" in User Accounts but Vista still promts for the password. Windows Vista RC1 Build 5600
