Even the most sophisticated software can be overridden by a dumb user clicking "OK" to an alert. | |

1 edit | Re: Most recently... Yep. MS made it too invasive, so you are clicking so often than it becomes a habit to just click any message. I turn off UAC on all Vista installs I work with, and my Dad asked me to take it off of his as well. Funny thing is I originally recommended he upgrade to Vista for the UAC (a long while back)...what a waste. | |

Miami, FL | reason I had to switch my dad from windows. He would press ok for whatever popped up, no matter what it said, just to get it to go away.
After installing linux and not telling him the root pass, all is good. | |
