windows vista
I got a new laptop for school and i love it. The only problem is that it has vista on it, which is kind of annoying. There are some settings i would like to change, but cant find how to do it. For example, when you download something, a box pops up and says "We need your permission to continue" or something and it happens again. Its like yeah, that's why i downloaded it. It's just annoying. How do i change that and other vista settings?
thank you

**The procedure for disabling download security warnings are exactly the same as XP, and Googling "User Account Control" gives you endless instructions on disabling UAC. If you were unable to find these instructions, then I am certain you won't be able to tell the difference between a virus and an MP3, which these features are designed to help you with.
I don't mean to suggest that you shouldn't disable these options if you want them disabled, just that you should be aware of the risk and backup your data. I, myself, debated a bit before disabling UAC, and I haven't disabled download security warnings.**
To disable all download security warnings ("Are you sure you want to run this software"), go to start -> control panel -> classic view (left) -> internet options -> security tab (top) -> custom level (bottom) -> scroll to miscellaneous (halfway through), and then to "launching applications and unsafe files" -> click "enable (not secure)" -> click ok -> click yes/allow/ok. Done.
To disable User Account Control ("Windows needs your permission to continue"), go to start -> control panel -> classic view (left) -> user accounts -> turn user account control on or off ( bottom) -> uncheck the box -> click ok -> restart your computer at your convenience. Done.
It's not wise to disable either option. If you don't know how to disable these options, you shouldn't have them disabled. The prompts aren't for your annoyance, they are there to protect you.
