All i can do is hope they either scrap the UAC system form windows 7 or scale it back massively so i dont have my screen screwed over and having to click a button for everything i do.
Why does it have to black out the whole screen just to ask me the question, why not just pop the box up. That would be as good and nowhere near as slow and annoying.
you can turn that off..... (first thing i did!)
its in the user accounts bit of the contorl panel
Turning off UAC is baad Mkay? You loose the Explorer sandbox for a start, and there are other ways.
If you are installing a program you trust then right click and choose Run as administrator.
You can mark a program to always run with extra security priviledges by right clicking it, select Properties Compatability and checking Run this program as Administrator. Be careful with this though, you certainly dont want to do it to programs that access the internet or stuff from unknown sources.
If you really hate UAC then REGEDIT HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\CurrentVersion\Policies\System and set ConsentPromptBehhaviorAdmin to 0 this will kill the prompts but leave Explorer to play in its sand box.
And for those who think that I have just become a Vista Wizard, its copied from issue 266 of PCPlus.
