Thank you

Ed,

As you say, Vista's appearance can be tamed as necessary by switching to
Classic mode just as can XP. As for the UAC (User Access Control) popping
up I don't really find this as troublesome as others. It's most obvious
and perhaps annoying during the initial stages when one is still
installing applications and the like but I don't find it particularly
intrusive thereafter. Whilst it can readily be disabled I prefer to leave
it on as it is a great safety mechanism. What one shouldn't do is simply
click yes every time without thinking about or better knowing why it is
popping up, well not once you've populated your system and had it running
some time.

If you haven't already, and it is still relatively early days, I'm fairly
confident you'll come to appreciate Vista and realise how feature rich it
is when compared to its somewhat elderly relative Win Me.

Howdy Mike,

The more I use the machine, the more I would have to agree with you. The
UAC is a good safety feature at the initial stagtes -- but now it doesn't
bother me as much.

Wow, big difference when comparing Vista to the good old Win Me (although I
was used to the old box -- I guess I dind't expect all the great features the
new one has, i.e., ease in customization, picture/video/sound great quality
-- and speed!) To think that I was on dial-up about 3+ years ago it makes e
crinch.

I have a question for you, how do you safely turn the Windows Password off.
I have a couple of links -- but like I promise, I would rather get back to
this site and ask the real experts.

Also, Norton came with a 60-day trial and I'm using it. No problem
whatsoever. I know that Norton was not good for Win Me. Any recommendations
for Vista? I was happy with Avast Home Edition in the old box.

Well, off to the Ocean for a 5-day vacation. So I'll check things out when
I get back.

Thank you and have a great week!

Meant to say The UAC is a good safety feature. Period. Boy! I'm getting old!

Hi Ed, I don't think I'd want to turn of UAC you'll find it's not that
irritating it does provide that extra level of security and in these days
having good security is not a bad thing.
What version do you have ?

Hi Joannie,
Vista Home Edition is my PC version. You are also right. See my reply to
Mike on the UAC.

Another 3rd party utility I'd say to avoid (regarless of what the "digital
goddess" says) is PC Tools. Although the "experts" say not to create an
Administrator account, it makes it easy so you don't need a restart by having
that account available with UAC turned off. Use your usual account(s) with
UAC on for day to day operation.
