etc. These are the facts. Thus for them UAC is actually a hinderence not a boon. OK Younger parents may know some stuff but most likely in many cases, how to plug in a playstation and stick in the DVD. 2) Lack of configurablity is the Microsoft way and its always been the wrong way. Its fine to have wizards but for users in the know, the option to actually configure the options manually and in detail is a must. In converse however the good old Linux way is just as bad. A perfect system would provide auto setup and easy wizards for basic users, and for advanced users who don;t know about the hardware itself (in detail). I'm sorry I don;t want to spend weeks learning about how to configure each individual hardware, unless it becomes necessary. Likewise though when I need to, I want the power to do so. In this case, way can I not configure exceptions to the rule and do so on a number of parameters. Why are there only 2 levels of security. This is why UAC doesn't float my boat. Tweak UAC is nice as far as it goes, but I still lack power to say this is ok and this I would like to be reminded about. 3) It doesn't actually adress the fundamental problem. The problem is that developers etc and infact many users cannot work in a user account (especially on their home PC) for a lot of regular tasks.
