RE: [LegacyUG] UAC - Users Account Control
Perhaps Jerry assumed, as I would, from the wording in the CustomizeLaunch tab that Legacy sets its own defaults. But the Help file explains that we are talking about Operating System defaults, i.e. Windows file type settings. So perhaps Jerry needs to check his Open with defaults on .log files.

It is not working if I leave it blank (maybe Legacy is expecting it to be in a different location - not sure). It doesn't find Notepad. It uses Default Programs and what has been defined as the default program for opening .TXT files. If that hadn't been set up properly, then it couldn't open the log file. -- Regards, Mike Fry Johannesburg Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).

Re: [LegacyUG] UAC - Users Account Control
I've had it there for however long it's been since I got Win7 (right after it came out). I've never had any problems. Most problems arise from malware in emails and suspicious webpages and downloads. If you keep good quality security software updated and running, you shouldn't have any problems. That being said, I do downloads and open attachments all the time and I can't remember when I had a malware warning.

RE: [LegacyUG] UAC - Users Account Control
Jerry, Did you have the problem with the error log before you re-installed to C:\Legacy? I can certainly see that there would be problems if at the time your installation was in the Program Files directory, Windows certainly wouldn't like writing an error log file there.

I've never had any problems. Most problems arise from malware in emails and suspicious webpages and downloads. If you keep good quality security software updated and running, you shouldn't have any problems. That being said, I do downloads and open attachments all the time and I can't remember when I had a malware warning. Also, I'm using DSL and behind a secure modem/router - I've tested my security through a couple of websites (can't remember them right now) and my computer was not discoverable.

RE: [LegacyUG] UAC - Users Account Control
Hi Mark, But that's my question, I guess. We know that Legacy discourages (that's putting it mildly) installing in the Program files directory, but as long as one installs in the recommended C:\Legacy directory, I have yet to hear why UAC needs to be turned off.

That's another reason why I turned UAC off.

RE: [LegacyUG] UAC - Users Account Control
Paul, Point taken. I thought the discussion was aimed at Legacy installed in the Program Files, then yes turn UAC off. If in the desired C:\Legacy, then by all means it is not necessary. Trying to keep multi-thread discussions and inputting data and half other things at once it best left for multi-thread multi-core processors, not men ;-) Kind Regards Mark Lang -Original Message- From: Paul Gray [mailto:grayp...@telus.net] Sent: Wednesday, 25 January 2012 10:25 AM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] UAC - Users Account Control Hi Mark, But that's my question, I guess.

It is not working if I leave it blank (maybe Legacy is expecting it to be in a different location - not sure). It doesn't find Notepad. It uses Default Programs and what has been defined as the default program for opening .TXT files. If that hadn't been set up properly, then it couldn't open the log file. -- Regards, Mike Fry Johannesburg Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
