Howdy Mike,

The more I use the machine, the more I would have to agree with you. The
UAC is a good safety feature at the initial stagtes -- but now it doesn't
bother me as much.

Wow, big difference when comparing Vista to the good old Win Me (although I
was used to the old box -- I guess I dind't expect all the great features the
new one has, i.e., ease in customization, picture/video/sound great quality
-- and speed!) To think that I was on dial-up about 3+ years ago it makes e
crinch.

I have a question for you, how do you safely turn the Windows Password off.
I have a couple of links -- but like I promise, I would rather get back to
this site and ask the real experts.

Also, Norton came with a 60-day trial and I'm using it. No problem
whatsoever. I know that Norton was not good for Win Me. Any recommendations
for Vista? I was happy with Avast Home Edition in the old box.

Well, off to the Ocean for a 5-day vacation. So I'll check things out when
I get back.

Thank you and have a great week!

Ed,

As you say, Vista's appearance can be tamed as necessary by switching to
Classic mode just as can XP. As for the UAC (User Access Control) popping
up I don't really find this as troublesome as others. It's most obvious
and perhaps annoying during the initial stages when one is still
installing applications and the like but I don't find it particularly
intrusive thereafter. Whilst it can readily be disabled I prefer to leave
it on as it is a great safety mechanism. What one shouldn't do is simply
click yes every time without thinking about or better knowing why it is
popping up, well not once you've populated your system and had it running
some time.

If you haven't already, and it is still relatively early days, I'm fairly
confident you'll come to appreciate Vista and realise how feature rich it
is when compared to its somewhat elderly relative Win Me.

Hi good ole Heirloom,
I was aware that your wife was running Vista on her laptop. I agree
with you, it's too much eye candy at the beginning, but you can
customize it as you please. There are a couple of obnoxious things,
like little windows that come up to ask you to continue, yet with
practice I'll get rid of that feature. I just visited the Vista NG
once and found an answer right away -- maybe I just got lucky.

Yeah, this NG is much friendlier and one is never left out in left
field. Write to Mart about the chili recipe, he also has an original.
As far as Ike, I would not bother looking out for him -- unless

Thanks for the kind words and cheers from Seattle!

Default Thank you

Ed,

You can keep the password but not have to enter it each time you logon to
the PC. This means that a password is still needed to access shared files
on the Vista PC from another PC unless they are placed in the public
folder.

To do this enter
Control userpasswords2
in the search box (or Run box if in Classic mode), UAC will pop up, say
yes and then on the Users(?) tab uncheck the box that says "Users must
enter a user name and password to use this computer". Click Apply and you
will be asked to select the user (usually you will have just the one) to
be the default when logging on and to enter their password twice. You
should now not need to enter a password whenever starting your PC but
still will if you use Remove Desktop to access the PC or have your
screensaver configured to ask for a password.

Please note that the above is the text from a PC running XP (which has the
same functionality) as I don't have my Vista PC or laptops switched on at
present.

Norton. Dump it. It's no better on Vista than it is on XP or Win Me.
IOW a total disaster. The last thing you need is a third party "security
suite". It will cripple your PC. The sooner you return to using Avast
and the Vista built-in firewall the better your PC will be.

Well, off to the Ocean for a 5-day vacation.


How I envy you although living in Seattle it's not as if the ocean is far
away. I could certainly do with some sun, sand and sangria at the moment
although as I prefer the Greek islands to Spain let's make that sun, warm
water and ouzo instead. vbg

Enjoy your break.

Good thing I asked you about Norton. I shall be leaving in 10 minutes to the
Ocean, but will dump it upon my return.
Very detailed and clear-cut instructions about about the Password issue. I
also
appreciate your response to resolve this issue.
The Ocean is about 2 1/2 hours away from Seattle by car. I envy you for
living in the UK -- since the Greek Islands are relatively close. (It's in my
list of places to go) -- yet, I'll follow your advice and have a drink of
ouzo in your name...Opa!

Thank you for your good wishes. Off I go.

Another 3rd party utility I'd say to avoid (regarless of what the "digital
goddess" says) is PC Tools. Although the "experts" say not to create an
Administrator account, it makes it easy so you don't need a restart by having
that account available with UAC turned off. Use your usual account(s) with
UAC on for day to day operation.

Default Thank you

I was referring to Registry Mechanic by PC Tools, not the old DOS program (a
good one) that Symantec spoiled.

Another 3rd party utility I'd say to avoid (regarless of what the "digital
goddess" says) is PC Tools. Although the "experts" say not to create an
Administrator account, it makes it easy so you don't need a restart by
having
that account available with UAC turned off. Use your usual account(s) with
UAC on for day to day operation.

Hi Joannie,
Vista Home Edition is my PC version. You are also right. See my reply
to
Mike on the UAC.

Hi Ed, I don't think I'd want to turn of UAC you'll find it's not that
irritating it does provide that extra level of security and in these
days
having good security is not a bad thing.
What version do you have ?

Hi good ole Heirloom,
I was aware that your wife was running Vista on her laptop. I agree
with
you, it's too much eye candy at the beginning, but you can customize
it as
you please. There are a couple of obnoxious things, like little
windows
that
come up to ask you to continue, yet with practice I'll get rid of
that
feature. I just visited the Vista NG once and found an answer right
away --
maybe I just got lucky.

Yeah, this NG is much friendlier and one is never left out in left
field.
Write to Mart about the chili recipe, he also has an original.
As far as Ike, I would not bother looking out for him -- unless
*Tina*
shows
up!

Thanks for the kind words and cheers from Seattle!

Congrats Ed! I haven't had the cojones to go with Vista, I'm
sticking
with
XP SP3 for as long as possible. SWMBO is running Vista Home Premie
on
her
laptop.....I don't like it......too much eye candy for me. I'm sure
it
will
be fine once you get used to it doing everything for you, lol. Oh,
and
on
the NG's....good luck. My experience with the XP NG's was less than
pleasant, so, I came back here with my old friends (heavy on the
'old',
g). Besides, with the advent of Google and other things, it is
simply
too
easy to find answers on one's own. But, if one gets in a real bind,
one
can
always call on the world's best gurus in this NG.
Mike comes immediately to mind, but, certainly not the only one.

The real appeal to this NG is the way everyones gets along with one
another,
and not.....just like a real family. I saw the post on the 'chili
recipe'
and thought that I might be able to answer a question, but, nay, it
was
just
a joke. However, if anyone would like a good recipe for some
newkyoolar
chile, I could fix them up. With properly secured bedding of
sufficient
strength, it can help keep you warm in the winter.

You had better stop in frequently, Ed! You are one of the
originals, a
charter member, you carry battle scars and secrets.

Heirloom, old and looking out for Ike

Thank you Joanie. True words about getting to know people while
exchanging
problem situations, yet maintaining a good sense of humor. Best
of
luck
to
you in all your endeavors.

I didn't mention all the names of good people who helped me
through the
years, but special thanks also to good old Noel (Mike, if you read
this,
please pass this on to him); to George Gee and so many others.

'Til I visit again, bye for now.

Hi Mart,

I agree that it was a bit extreme, but the good old box had too
many
'limitations.'
Any updates/upgrades required either 2000, XP or Vista. I too
think
that
it
will be
worth it in the long run.
