Dear Mr Rivits

Unfortunately M is correct in this respect:

User Account control (who remembers Vista in its initial incarnation !) does interrupt your thought processes when using a Computing Device - its underlying function is to stop and make you think about your actions.

Speaking from experience and not expedience, I have gradually adapted my behaviour to accommodate its vicissitudes - undermining its purpose to an extent.

It's only as a last resort; that I disable it and I have done this on only one case under duress and I explained to the user, a learner in her late 50's who had never used a computer before, the consequences of the action.

So "pur-chance to dream....."

On awakening from your slumbers, in the chilly but beautiful Pacific N.W and reading this: will test the frangibility of the triple glazing with the said Box.
