UAC is a pain in the AC
There you are with your brand spanking new Vista laptop and everything is fine but every time you want to do something a little more “adventurous” the screen dims and you have to click Continue to the security prompt just to run a utility. Its YOUR LAPTOP why keep asking for raised privileges all the time just to run stuff in the Control Panel !
Well with help from the Dummies Guide to Vista ! I managed to switch off this annoying facility, its probably great for users on a network where the stressed out admin guys are sick of users trying to install games and screen savers etc but if its your own machine why have all the extra security ?
Its called UAC, “User Account Control” and it can be disabled for all users via:
Control Panel – Administrative Tools – System Configuration -Tools – Disable UAC
(Requires a reboot unfortunately!)

The Missing Manuals
Hi all,
I have discovered after a lengthly flick through most of the Office books at "Borders" that the missing manuals books are very good. I have purchased Access 2007 and Project 2007 to start with and these say on the front :
"The book that should have been in the box". This is true, it's got a wealth of useful extras, background help, interesting utilities that I have not come across in other manuals. they are written in a nice relaxed style, brave enough to even say when a facility is rubbish or never took off.
Check them out ...
The Access 2007 book covers macros, VB, SQL ,all the basic Objects and Database theory as well.
