Someone with a little vista experience please!

The only thing I dont like about it (yes, the only thing: I dont know why people dont like it, its a good OS):

"Are you sure"

- Continue

"Windows needs your permission to continue"

- Continue

"Are you REALLY sure?"

- Continue

"I wouldnt want to do anything you didnt like"

- DO IT!!

I exagerate, but only a little.

I'm reliably informed that this can be switched off, and you can go back to the far less annoying "Are you sure?" - Yes -> does it

But I cant find it

Anyone know where it is?

[Twinfan]

'fraid not, but when you find it can you let me know???  :lol:

I'm sick of the "I need to do this as an administrator is that OK?" prompt!

[MDV]

:lol:

Will do!

I know one of my mates knows, but I have new-phone-no-numbers syndrome at the moment.

Its in users in the control panel

turn off user account control and then also change the way that windows notifies you if its off

otherwise it will keep bringing tooltips and whatnot up in the sys tray.,

I've got used to that now and dont really care that much, though it does get a bit annoying when you want to get things done quickly..

Apparently its bad to switch it off because it has a load of good security stuff as well as the annoying popups. This program lets it run in "silent mode" whilst still giving you all the security - http://www.tweak-uac.com/home/

Bugger.

I think I'll just put up with it then. Ah well.

You could try tweak-uac to stop the annoying popups and still have the security features of uac :)


hahaha
"Waaaah, boo hoo! I can't drag and drop! Dumbass. Looks like your Macs aren't perfect after all, which leads me to my second point:

2. $%&# you."

Very appropriate, and ammusing, but, as I've said before and am about to say again, if I had a mac, then I'd be a mac owner and theres nothing worse than a mac owner talking about his functionally inferior technophobes fashion accesory ;).

Macs Vs PCs =  One-box hifis Vs Seperates hifis, or, hehehehehehe, off-the-shelf guitars Vs custom/pimped guitars.

Stupid double post

NOOO, tripple post!

Wouldnt happen on a mac. Just one button so you dont get confused.

[_tom_]

:lol: Reminds me of this:

[badgermark]

Mac mouses have two buttons, have for a while. Plus pressing control while clicking does the usual rmb thingys.  I like macs, I use macs, I'm not a zealous fanboy. Never used Vista though, seems a bit flashy and rubbish to be honest.

[Ted 'N' Leo]

I've got both. I prefer the Vista to the Mac to be honest, i just find it easier to use, and i hate having to press control to right click sometimes, pain in the arse.

Although, i like using garage band on the Mac (its a laptop), and the movie editing software is very easy to use. i also use it for watching dvds and just the occaisional internet use (like right now).

Just depends what you want to use it for to be honest, one isnt better than the other, they're too different for that really.

P.S. The fact that you can't go through every window on macs using Apple Button tab really grinds my gears!
