I hate UAC...I don't feel more secure when it's turned on...I only feel abused. But, I like Gadgets, Widgets, etc. So, after all of the "UAC is much friendlier in Win 7 than Vista" talk, I was not prepared for the double whammy. Yep, UAC is still a pain in the rear in Win 7, BUT, when you turn it off the Gadgets won't work!!!! C'mon MS...gimme a break!

If you don't have time to do it right
...when will you have time to do it over?

WAHOO! Thanks, BIG B! Had to improvise - my registry didn't have the AllowElevatedProcess key, so I just added it. Now I don't have to OK new AV definitions or Ccleaner cleanup, etc. and I can still keep track of the weather. If I'm not careful here, pretty soon I'll only use XP 95% of the time!
