I've been scanning through the other threads, & this seems to be a VERY
common complaint, UAC getting in the way, or blocking what people want to do.
One of the MVP's (may have been Ronnie Vernon) mentioned in another thread
that even an administrator account has only ordinary privilages, not admin
privilages. Can an account be raised to admin privilages?
I have nobody else using my PC, so have nothing to lose by removing
barriers. As I said before, I know my way around a PC, & usually mean what I
say when I tell it to do something. I even turn off the trash can, as I don't
need safety nets.
MS just seem to have spent so much time trying to make Vista idiot proof, &
hand-holding beginners, that they forgot there are some people who've been
around PC's for years, & don't need or want this level of help.
