Re: Turning off UAC

Yes you have a continuous Red Shield threatening you BUT now you can go
to websites and download and install the software you want and need. The
ActiveX plugins will install properly.
With UAC running I could not go to the MSN Money website and download
and install the "MSN Money Investment Toolbox". With UAC turned off it
installed and works just like it does under XP. If you turn it back on then
it fails to work again and reports that it is unable to write to the
registry.
If UAC is my salvation from the evil and dangerous Internet then give me
some instructions on how to let my applications run as they did under XP.
Put a check box in the UAC permission box that allows me to give an
application permanent permission so I am not asked the same question every
single time I perform the same task.
