Re: VS2005/Vista issues

OK. But this will let me normally run with the lower privileges of an ordinary user most
of the time, then? I'm still struggling with all this privilege stuff, but I want to be
testing in a "normal" user environment most of the time. So I really want the extra
step---I've found that I don't need it *all* that often, so I'm trying to create a
realistic test environment, but when I need it, I don't want to have to give the password.
So I'll do as you suggest.
thanks

It must be run as administrator, which requires an administrator password.
What I'd like
to do is set myself up to run as a normal user, but with the privileges of
running as
administrator whenever I want to with only the simple confirmation box
(not the need to
type in a name and password each time). Any possibility Vista supports
something like
this?


Set your Vista account to be an Administrator account (and not a Limited
account). Then whenever Admin priviledges are required (that would
normally darken the screen and ask for an Admin password), the screen will
still darken, but you only have to click the Continue button and not type in
a password.

Or else disable UAC and have it go back to the WinXP way where no additional
steps are required to run anything as true Admin.
