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.

Everytime I log onto my account after a reboot the display settings reset automatically to 8 bit color. To make most thinks look normal I must go into the Control Panel and update the display settings. 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...

Hey, I have just installed Vista yesterday, and there are some mistakes in the German Version of it. 1) While installing there is a question about keyboard layout. Even if you select German it uses the english layout while installing, so you make mistakes while entering the product key because of the many y and z. 2) If you are using a Domain with Small Business Server 2003 English Version

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...

I had to switch routers because mine kept dropping out while download it. Both attemps finished the 4GB download but the download manager (the one from Akamai) said the MD5's did not match. Now that I restarted my computer after changing routers, I can't restart the download and when I go back to the RC1 site, it says I already have all the authorized product keys - maybe so - but I don't...

Every time I run Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004 in Vista RC1, I get a dialog asking whether I know and trust the program. Is there a way of telling Vista that I trurt this program always, so that it will run this particular program henceforth without the dialog box? Note - I don't want to turn off this security check for all new software.

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...
