Sponsor |  Recordgrooves | Mar 18, 1:02pm | Disable the UAC for Vista
1. Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> System Config
(you may need to search "administrative tools" in control panel)
2. Continue through User Account Controls prompt
3. Select Tools -> Scroll down and select Disable UAC
4. Click Launch -> Reboot machine
That will do it.
You can now change those stubborn "you do not have permission" files. |

Instead of double left-clicking the app, just right click it and select "run as administrator". UAC will then be disabled for that particular program until you close it. |

in power options, 'When i close the lid; Do nothing' i tried this option instead of standy by or shutdown, my laptop became quite warm, after only an hour, glad i didn't leave it overnite,
i don't think most laptops are designed to run with lid down, you'd think microsoft would know this, traps the heat, could melt your screen maybe, definitely choose shutdown or standby not Do Nothing.
comment? |

Sponsor | | Recordgrooves | Mar 30, 6:16pm | I agree.
I have seen many problems with laptops because of this, and I do not recommend letting your laptop hibernate. |

The amount of electricity used by the computer in standby mode is barely a trickle; just enough to keep the memory alive so that open documents and programs are stored without data loss.
great link about xp standby,

vista doesn't use standby anymore but Sleep, |
