Hello,

Are you tyring to copy files to system locations (such as program files or
windows)? You should expect a prompt in these cases.

However, if you are copying files between folders that you created, you
should not be seeing a prompt.

There is a special case where Windows Vista will prompt when it really
shouldn't; this happens when you are accessing folders that were created
from Windows XP or another installation of Windows. Windows Vista does not
recognize that YOU created these folders, sine they weren't created in
Windows Vista, and so requires a prompt to access them.

You can modify the security on these folders to explicitly give your
username access to them, which will get rid of the prompts.

I don't see anything hysterical or screaming in his post. Just his advice
as a counterpoint to what Tom suggested. Why do you get so upset about it?
It seems you are since you are the one using hyperbole.
