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

Ed,

You can keep the password but not have to enter it each time you logon to
the PC. This means that a password is still needed to access shared files
on the Vista PC from another PC unless they are placed in the public
folder.

To do this enter
Control userpasswords2
in the search box (or Run box if in Classic mode), UAC will pop up, say
yes and then on the Users(?) tab uncheck the box that says "Users must
enter a user name and password to use this computer". Click Apply and you
will be asked to select the user (usually you will have just the one) to
be the default when logging on and to enter their password twice. You
should now not need to enter a password whenever starting your PC but
still will if you use Remove Desktop to access the PC or have your
screensaver configured to ask for a password.

Please note that the above is the text from a PC running XP (which has the
same functionality) as I don't have my Vista PC or laptops switched on at
present.

Norton. Dump it. It's no better on Vista than it is on XP or Win Me.
IOW a total disaster. The last thing you need is a third party "security
suite". It will cripple your PC. The sooner you return to using Avast
and the Vista built-in firewall the better your PC will be.

> Well, off to the Ocean for a 5-day vacation.

How I envy you although living in Seattle it's not as if the ocean is far
away. I could certainly do with some sun, sand and sangria at the moment
although as I prefer the Greek islands to Spain let's make that sun, warm
water and ouzo instead. <vbg>

Enjoy your break.

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

[Ed]

Good thing I asked you about Norton. I shall be leaving in 10 minutes to the
Ocean, but will dump it upon my return.
Very detailed and clear-cut instructions about about the Password issue. I
also
appreciate your response to resolve this issue.
The Ocean is about 2 1/2 hours away from Seattle by car. I envy you for
living in the UK -- since the Greek Islands are relatively close. (It's in my
list of places to go) -- yet, I'll follow your advice and have a drink of
ouzo in your name...Opa!

Thank you for your good wishes. Off I go.

Cheers!

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.
