If so do you have instructions how to create an active directory using Vista? I am...

Hello, thank you for taking the time to explain UAC, Q: UAC is Microsoft's way of controlling my computer and preventing me from using it! A: This is 100% UNTRUE.

One of the problems i see often is a family computer with a profile for each person in the house. The kids downloading crap like zango and the likes infecting the system etc. What i think would be a good idea in eliminating cross profile infection is : When someone i.e. kids install a program it is only allowed to load when their profile is logged in to. When Dad for example comes home...
