"I come to condemn M$, not to praise it" (as I did reluctantly last week).
(background: I needed some Vi$ta capability for testing, etc. Bought my Long Suffering a new box. Vi$ta Home Premium. Dammit.) OK a rant and a question for anybody who has figured out this thing: Rant: I hate Vi$ta. Hate it. Slow. Stupid assumptions. (Example: Bring up "Explorer" it shows you "My docs" and has no way to see other drives, local or mapped. You have to use "My F'in Computer" to do that. Idiotic.) Question (with a Rant, too, just for good measure): 1. I set up user accounts for her and each of the munchkins. Didn't have that before, each just had a folder in the old (W2K) "My Documents." 2. Now I am trying to transfer files from the folder to the default folder Vi$ta assigns to a user account. (So, between user accounts.) 3. So, I am logged in as my wife, full administrative privileges. Two Explorer windows open, one showing each "user" directory. It made me enter a munchkin's password to "see" her user directory. Sharing is "on" for that folder. 4. I select all of her files in the "wrong" account folder, and drag them to the "right" one. No error or warning. The "OK" symbol shows, I "drop" --- nothing. Again, no error or warning, just *nothing* happens. 5. I try to use a "neutral" folder. It lets me copy them into that one from the "wrong" one, but not back again into the "right" one. WTF??? Why can't I do this when I have full Admin. privileges? Do I need to don a cape and become "Super Admin."!?!?!?!
