Does anyone know how to prevent Vista from stopping me moving .dat, .exe and any file it thinks is suspect.

I'm trying to copy a folder from a zipfile to the C drive and Vista keeps preventing me from moving it as it tells me that these types of file present a danger!

How can I turn this function off whilst I'm moving this folder? I tried turning off access control but that made no difference.

Donwgrade to XP


...sorry, I can't help you...

I agree with bismarck, I downgrade every new machine I get.

(Not much help I admit)

John,

Turn off User Account Control in the "Other Security Settings" of Windows Security Centre. Unfortunately this will result in you having an annoying pop-up every time you load your computer but it will stop everything getting blocked.

Hi Nick

I'll give that a go.

How's it going mate?

Well turning Account Control off made no difference so I tried a different tack.

I FTP's the files up to a server, downloaded them and guess what? They copied and installed perfectly! I just do not understand MS operating systems!!!

nor do MS

I must disagree, going back to XP is an UPGRADE!

I recently had a new PC made up for me and I stipulated I wanted XP NOT Vista, I did hear there is another version of Windows due to be released soon but I read it is even more controlling than any of the others.

That would be Windows 7.

Windows Vista 64 bit equals 16 gigs of RAM.

FTW!
