Vista + ME
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 and put it down to a slip of the tongue vbg -- Joan Archer http://www.freewebs.com/crossstitcher http://lachsoft.com/photogallery "Shane" wrote in message ... Joan Archer wrote: I have no problems with it in Vista g 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.
