Re: User Account Control
You're outright crazy to even want to run a program like that in Vista. You
should keep utility programs designed for XP as far away as possible from
Vista. Especially those dubious so-called "registry cleaners".

Try googling "CCLeaner problem".

Use software that doesn't want write access to the whole bloody machine?
I'm sure someone would recommend turning UAC off (in Users Accounts). But
I'd strongly recommend against doing that.

Re: User Account Control
Using the Run As command

In previous versions of Windows, you had to use an administrator account to
do certain things, such as changing system settings or installing software.
If you were logged on as a limited user, the Run as command eliminated the
need to log off and then log back on as an administrator.

In this version of Windows, the Run as command has been changed to Run as
administrator. You should rarely have to use the Run as administrator
command because Windows will automatically prompt you for an administrator
password when needed. Some older programs might still require you to use the
Run as administrator command to eliminate the need to log off and then log
back on.

Right-click the program icon or file that you want to open, and then click
Run as administrator.

Select the account that you want to use, and then type the password.

Tip
You can also use the Run as administrator command to run a program as
another user, even if the user does not have an administrator account. To do
so, select the account after clicking Run as administrator.

Re: User Account Control
What's wrong with CCleaner on Vista? The current version of CCleaner is
Vista compatible and even the 'older' versiosn worked fine for me. 'Dubious'
registry cleaners i have to agree with your comments but, not many people
use that aspect of CCleaner and even if they do it is well documented what
files are being removed - you also have a backup options so, if things go
wrong, they can be corrected.
If you are planning on keeping utility programs designed for XP well away
from Vista, then you may as well blanket cover the whole software arena and
say 'keep every program designed for XP away from Vista' In the end a
program either works in Vista or doesn't. As it stands at the moment i would
probably say that hundreds of applications designed for XP are 'not' Vista
compatible and probably won't be for many months to come.

Re: User Account Control
Tristan you can disable UAC but I wouldn't recommend it. My machine still
runs with UAC enabled and, yes, it was an inconvenience at the start, but it
is second nature now simply click on the UAC permissions dialogue box.

Information on User Access Control. Maybe it will give you an understanding
of what UAC is doing and why.
