I'm brand new to Vista and must say it is needlessly complicated.
All I'm trying to do right now is download MSN Messenger. I want to put it
in the "Program Files" folder, but it says "access denied...you don't have
permission...contact the administrator..." Huh? I am the administrator.
Why would I want to put a program file anywhere else? Why would I need such
a stupid feature? Why can't I have control over my own computer?
I right clicked until I got to the securities options, and all the boxes for
changing the permissions on the "Program Files" folder are greyed out.
How do I install programs where I think they would be the most convenient,
and make the most sense? How do I set this up so I always have access to do
whatever I want, and don't ever have to think about being logged in as such
and such user? How do I get the hours of my life back trying to figure out
Vista's "improvements" over XP?
