"COM is Love!" ~Don Box I was cleaning the office a few months back, and came across an old (still wrapped! <g>) condom that was handed out at a VBITS sometime last millenium. That slogan was emblazoned across the little box it came in. How's that for a collectible? :-) -- ..NET: It's About Trust! http://vfred.mvps.org

Another way to look at it: If people hadn't been "abusing" admin accounts and instead had been using User all along as was intended (but not enforced), MS wouldn't have had to tighten the screws. For home users, IMO the best thing to do is just turn off the damn UAC. For businesses, probably not a good idea to do that. ---- Mike
From: Claire on 6 Jul 2010 14:24 Nobody has addressed that part of my post when I said I cannot recreate that problem on my computer. Please guide me what settings should I have in my Vista to trigger that error? So far, I tried all possible combinations /standard user/UAC on-off/ and I do not have that error! I have Vista Ultimate. Can you please explain why I do not have that error?

Don't change the group membership of your account to do this, you must create a different standard user, probably form Control Panel-->User Accounts or similar icon. |
