The only problem with Vista is it ALWAYS asks you for permission. Not a bad thing, but quite annoying.

This is called 'User Account Control'. If you want to turn this off, go to 'Start > Control Panel > User Accounts' then click on your username and click on the 'Turn User Account Control on or off' then uncheck the box. You'll need the correct permissions on your account to do this so if you can't, ask the administrator for that PC.

Hope that helps

Wow, thanks! I know you didn't reply to me but this can fix my Vista laptop! Luckily, I also have an XP :]

I actually didn't know this. Since my old laptop broke (it was a fab laptop, too, much better and way more expensive than the one I'm using now ) I've had to share my mum's because my computer upstairs wont let me access the internet most of the time (blame my stupid internet provider) and she is admin on this laptop, so everytime I want to do something I always have to ask mum to type in the password - and when she isn't home, it gets incredibly frustrating. So thanks for this, it will be useful! Have a Hooray for helping me out.

Matt's quite the helpful one, isn't he?

I'll keep that in mind in case I ever use Vista again.

[matt]

I try {blush}

Give it a few years until MS stops supporting XP, then I guess most people will have no choice but to use Vista :'(

[bambigoddess]

It's rather lame how they do that, isn't it? They keep forcing you to go out and buy the latest thing...

[Cassie]

I agree, give it 2 years and we'll have some other lame thing out, 'let-me-waste-your-money-for-a-few-lousy-new-features-ista'.
