This may help, and it's not hard: Set your UAC notification to "Never Notify"... a new feature of Windows 7 for folks NOT in an enterprise security context that basically gets rid of the ill-conceived overreaction to security concerns that caused UAC to be a big pain the ass for most home users on Vista. It's the first thing I do on new installations of Windows 7 unless it's a big enterprise.
Open control panel. Select User Accounts. Click on Change User Account Control settings. Drag the selector to the bottom, Never Notify. Click OK. Vista had a similar ability but would constantly nag you that your security was horribly, dreadfully compromised. Windows 7 does NOT nag you if you set it to Never Notify. Enjoy the freedom of doing whatever the hell you want on your computer again. :) - Publius On Wed, Jan 6, 2010 at 6:16 PM, Paul Hill <[email protected]> wrote: > On Wed, Jan 6, 2010 at 10:23 PM, Stephen Russell <[email protected]> > wrote: >> Do you load Skype?
