Hi Brendon, Having looked into the matter a bit further, I notice that, in Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium, the position which allows for the best security and yet greatest accessibility is, as I've said, a setting of one of three, and I notice that the setting has the additional description of "Do not dim my desktop." On another computer of mine,running Windows 7 Ultimate, I notice that the slider is set to two of three, and yet I had no problem reading the UAC dialog when it came up. Anyway, this is just further info for your and others' benefit.
Cheers, Rod -----Original Message----- From: Brendon Charles Donohue [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, January 04, 2015 2:14 AM To: 'Rod Hutton' Cc: [email protected] Subject: RE: Win 8.1 and WE 8.4 4/1/2015 Importance: High Hi rod, Yes, I understand that, I don't use UAC though on any of my computers here. Thank you though.

The problem is that there is a UAC setting which dims the desktop and makes it impossible or at least very diffuclt to access the dialog information. Perhaps someone can explain in detail the best position of the slider which allows for greatest accessibility. There is such an ideal setting in Windows 7, and I cannot speak to Windows 8 or 8.1, but I assume it's the same. Basically, you want to set it so that the desktop is not dimmed when UAC comes up. On my system, Windows 7, the trackbar must be set to the first position, that is, it reads as "one of three."
