Thank you Boyfriend i was going to say i haven't come across these problems either, and it's good of you to share with the rest of us

There's 1 other problem. It's called UAC.

Says the person who runs.... LUA was it?

[safeguy]

Yup dude. Seems like my bait caught the fish...

I run LUA but I've never said all is fine or it'd be pain-free. With every choice you make, there's a trade-off somewhere.

However, my point was that the problem is in its current design, UAC presents itself as an annoying nag to some users who would then choose to disable it without realizing the implications. UAC is without doubts a problem for not just the end-user but for MS too as MS has to find a balance in suiting it for a range of various computer setup/configuration. ...if you have read about what it really is and how MS 'designed' it to be, then you'd know it's not an easy feat to pull off.

To monkey-quote what tech bloggers write:

Vista was a 'disaster', service packs helped to 'reduce' the no. of prompts and Win7 was considered as 'better'.

What I'm hoping for is a much finer control over it..without resorting to manual 'hacks', or discussion on forums. Hopefully then, less users would disable it...

Don't be mistaken - I'm still a LUA advocate....but one who prefers to get real rather than pretend "it's all good".

I find UAC easier to handle then LUA, mostly because LUA doesn't seem to work with the way my system is set up (me relying mostly on my keyboard and not my mouse). UAC on the other hand, works fine.

Fairly well then. You are still running under a standard user account token...so you ought to be fine.
