This is the first time I've posted anything here, but I've become
increasingly frustrated with the UAC myself. Is there some way to have the
rest of the great upgrades from XP that Windows Vista offersd without the too
tight security of the UAC. Everytime I turn around it seems that I'm being
denied access to something. I am a 52 year old married male and the kiuds
are both in college. I never had any of the security hassles with XP. Is
micro soft going to do something about the problems with Vista and start
trying to make it as reliable and friendly as XP? Larry I hope you gety an
answer to your problems instyead of more frustration!
