HI Robert! Sorry for the late reply. I would never turn off UAC for Users but I think when you are the Admin, having UAC on is overkill. I get a warning for deleting a file already and now I get a UAC warning for example.

Make sure you have a good firewall running though. I was just talking to guy about this again the other day and he seems to think that it's a lot easier to access the user name folders in Vista for a malicious program via the net than it was before, when UAC is turned off. I don't know enough about it to say one way or another. I only felt safe in doing it because I'm very careful about the apps I allow communication thru. And because I'm the only user of my system! from Robert Meek dba "Tangentals Design" e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Freelance Windows Programming for XP and Vista Also proud to be a Moderator of the "Delphi-List" at elists.org "Reality cannot be explained...only enjoyed or endured as your current perspective allows!" -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nesler, Thomas J Sent: Monday, March 17, 2008 10:37 AM To: Borland's Delphi Discussion List Subject: RE: Developing for Vista Hi Robert!

But I've tried to keep the few clients I still have running Vista from doing the same because they're not as careful as me and I'm really not sure if and how the UAC helps prevent certain problems that Microsoft says it cures! It's easy enough to do almost anything as an administrator so I don't know that it's much good against spreading viruses or not? But all my installations are written so that application code goes under Program Files, ini and user data under the username, and default or general data under Application Data. And the only time this has given me any problems is when someone other than the Administrator attempts to uninstall/delete everything. from Robert Meek dba "Tangentals Design" e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Freelance Windows Programming for XP and Vista Also proud to be a Moderator of the "Delphi-List" at elists.org "Reality cannot be explained...only enjoyed or endured as your current perspective allows!" -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alan Colburn Sent: Wednesday, March 12, 2008 6:54 PM To: Borland's Delphi Discussion List Subject: Developing for Vista Hi folks -- I have a simple application that I would like Vista users to install and run easily. The users, however, are technologically unsophisticated. (Indeed, one of the great things about Delphi lies in the fact that one can often create an application as a single executable file.) I'm looking for suggestions (being somewhat unfamiliar with Vista myself) about how to set up the install process to make Vista operation as easy as that with other OS's. I'm told, for example, that you shouldn't default to installing in the Program Files folder, because this will required administrator level access. Is there anything else I need to know or do?
