Bypass boot screen?

Steve,

Thanks, I'll give that a try. I found that option when I did the upgrade
from XP, what a mistake, then after doing a clean install I could no longer
find it again.

I am like you the UAC is such an irritation that it had to go. I keep
reading about how secure it makes Vista, but I wonder if that is the team
that developed it that are making those comments. I just can't imagine
anyone that would live with that. Every time you do virtually anything you
are having to answer the nag screen. I read on one of the groups where they
are going to relax it somewhat, but I would like it to be configurable where
the user decides how much or how little control UAC has over the system. As
it is, most users with more than average exposure will turn it off
completely. That my two cents worth.

Thanks again for the information.

Why is it that everytime I write something that is the least little bit
negative my post fails. Just coincidence I guess, so I'll try again.

Thanks for the post. I had found and turned off the option when I first
installed Vista using the upgrade option. Talk about a mistake! Then when I
did the clean install I couldn't find the option again. Caused me to think
that perhaps I had not found a way to turn it off at all.

I agree with you on the UAC. It is such an irritate that anyone more
experienced than a novice will turn it off completely after just a short
while. I would rather see the option configurable so that you can make it as
restrictive or un-restrictive as you wish. I can't imagine anyone liking it
as it currently functions. I read where they were going to relax it a bit in
RC1, but I think that they need to relax it a lot. That's my two cents for
what it's worth.

Thanks again for the help.
