No I haven't got it turned off Shane but then I'm not an engineer who
likes
tinkering g

True I haven't delved into the innards of it much yet, I'm still finding
my
way around and I like to do this slowly so it sinks in g trouble is
there
aren't enough hours in the day for me to do all I want on here, perhaps if
I
didn't read so many forums and newsgroups that would help but then I
wouldn't be able to learn so much g

I'll overlook your reference to the poor sheep

....a little misunderstanding, perhaps?
Don't think it was meant to be personal, Joan. H.

You mean you've got it turned off, Joan?

If not, then you can't do much tinkering. Whereas that is almost all I
do
do. I poked some people with a stick over that in the Vista group (when
I
briefly visited, until realizing it was like xpgeneral only more so) in
support of the guy there getting all the flak for not being a sheep. And
it is a long time since I mentioned those, eh Joan! Though now I feel
guilty for besmirching the name of the fair bovine whatsit!

The point being that like any mechanic, tinkering is what I do, which
makes it a legitimate use of the computer, just as of the car or bike
(or
boat or aircraft). Yet the majority do not do this - they pay or cajole
others to maintain and fix their pieces of technology for them. And when
that technology is altered in a way that doesn't really affect them -
i.e.
because they never look under the hood - they think it is fine and don't
care a tinker's cuss for the struggling artist. Or rather for the ones
who
want to know how things work and not be nannied, and be self-reliant
rather than afraid.

I'm not implying you do this - I know you know a lot about Windows, far
more than the average Josephine. But I think it is really very bad when
people just accept whatever they're handed from on high and dismiss the
objections of those who actually think about it as the irrelevent
bleatings (there we go again!) of a minority who are anti-social enough
not to do exactly the same as everybody else.

From a lifetime of thinking about the problems we face I have no doubt
that they are caused by the lazy, unthinking majority who just allow
what
is good to be bulldozed in the name of progress or profit and the
promise
of an easy life. UAC is just a signpost - or possibly a milestone - on
the
inexorable path to the belated 1984. One could almost imagine the world
of
The Matrix coming to pass, except that it won't be the machines that do
it, it's be the likes of Tony Blair, his incumbent lover in the White
House and their supporters.
