I highly recommend disabling UAC. Its job is pretty useless as it does not ask for a password like the linux equivalent.
To disable: Start > Control Panel > User Accounts > Turn user account control on or off > uncheck the box. This does not disable any account/user stuff todo with file permissions or stuff like that. It just sets it like XP. UAC is the first thing I disable when installing vista. I'm sure if you look over the internet, you will see sooooo many people turning UAC off. 2008/6/23 Brainstorm <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Hi, > > > > I recently noticed that there are a few servers which seem to have active-x > controls in the MOTD.
