Vista: How to use EFS
I have recently acquired Vista Ultimate with a new PC. I am trying to setup EFS and have a few questions: a) Before I even thought of setting up EFS, I suddenly received a message from Vista asking if I wanted to backup the recovery keys. The message kept popping up everytime I tried to open a zipped file. I do not know what caused it. There was no virus in the file. Anyways, I clicked ...

Unknown error modifying network settings permissions
Just recently got a new PC with Vista and only have an administration account now. Four main problems I am having: 1. Vista refuses to allow me to create additional users, I've tried all the workarounds I could think of but to no avail. 2. I try to open help or many windows relating to help topics but all I get is a brief window flash in front and it won't come up. 3. Vista wi...

Drag and Drop Problems (UAC related)
I can't seem to drag and drop a file from Windows Explorer with elevated privileges to Notepad (or any other editor) with elevated privileges. Why not? Both have elevated privileges, so it should work. (BTW, I can use the right-click/sendTo method, and -- with a confirmation that it's OK -- it works). Seems like these are the symptoms: 1. from normal user Explorer :: to normal user No...

Vista Firewall ??????
Vista Firewall, a bit of a misnomer. One small step above XP's one way Firewall. it may stop a lot of stuff incoming, but very little outgoing. In fact everything MS and the PC manufacturer, among others wants outgoing, goes out, unknown to you. Go to www.grc.com and download their free Leaktest software. It's very small, and you'll realize how much you need a proper Firewall. PC.Tools ...

A security scare
Good afternoon, I'm currently running Windows Vista Ultimate with two monitors, with my left hand one being my main monitor. Recently there has been a box in the top-left hand corner of the main monitor that will not respond when I click on it, and I have no idea what it is. I also seem to be unable to remove it. Does anyone know what it is or what I can do about it?...
