Re: Every move in Vista requires "permission". WHY and How do I tu

it was an example...replace with anything else that requires administrative
privileges. I dont want to be asked to continue at every other action I make
if I'm an administrator.

However i do think it was a great idea to have the ability to prompt for
admin credentials for users...no more right-click run as for me!
