Someone's got UAC turned on... XD

Also, dem pinned emulators.

I have UAC on - in fact, I have it set to Vista-tier (but with the secure desktop switching disabled for its popups so my games don't get forced to redraw everything). I actually like UAC. No, you read that right the first time, do a double-take.
I've encountered many cases when I've been able to abort accidental actions by rejecting the request for privilege elevation, plus I dig the user account isolation (and virtualization). I only wish MS had included a third option, i.e. No, run with limited privileges instead of a flat out yes or no. Yes, it's obvious that said program would be running out of spec at that point, but I feel that (power) users should be allowed such an option if they don't feel the program has any need to have full access to the system.[/Off-Topic]

I have no need for it because everything on my system is deliberately put into motion. How do you make accidental actions?



I don't know how the hardware works, but I can maintain the software; from my experiences all the 'Recommended' settings Microsoft thinks are correct are actually wrong for people who know how to care for a computer. That, and UAC typically blocks near everything on my system including games, my Ethernet connections, connections to the Internet through Firefox/Chrome/games, and generally being prompted every few seconds about trivial things.[/OffTopic]

Eh, I keep my UAC set to not dim the screen anytime anything happens

....you wasn't talking about mine right?

I see at least P64, GBA, SNES, and those are just the ones I can identify.

Start Button - Firefox - Thunderbird - WinAmp - Steam - ??? - Malwarebytes - ??? - ??? - Skype - Ventrillo - Fraps - Project 64 - ??? - ZSNES - VisualBoy - ??? - ??? - ??? - ??? - OC - Halo:CE

Nothing wrong with a good emulator, as long as you aren't using Pokemon ROMs... C;

Fixed

Need to do a bit of cleaning there

Cursor misalignments if I'm in a hurry, typos (I use Enso Launcher, so things get shuffled around when I install new programs with similar names to what I'm trying to start, or I simply make a typographical error and end up launching Enso's suggestion instead which just happens to be an app that requires elevated privileges... It's a corner case, I know). It's also a much faster way for me to terminate them since those programs don't even get started. Perhaps it's due in part to my initial exposure to UAC in Vista on my super slow laptop, I don't know. I basically like the assurance that nothing privileged is being started without my knowledge (call it paranoia, if you will).

That's either an exaggeration, or a misconfigured system because those seem like things a firewall program would prompt since UAC doesn't care about what connects to the internet. I'll take a guess that you are referring to the Windows Firewall prompt that typically pops up when launching a multiplayer game for the first time, but that only happens once anyway.

Well, to each his own. I'm just glad MS had the sense to make UAC configurable instead of forcing it on everyone like they did with Windows 8.[/Off-Topic]

Am I doing it right?

+rep would buy entire package

The more i know about Win8, the less i want have it.

As a 2 year Windows Phone 7 user I can say it's a pain in the ass, and that the Surface tablets have between 1-3 second delays on actions.

There also no bloody good reason I should have to push a button >10 times for it to work, even though the button flashes like it received the input.

Incredible you've been using that slow phone OS for 2 years, there's nothing more annoying than those OS that have a very slow responsiveness.

That pisses me a lot, I like a lot more to have an old phone that simply works fast and well than an smartphone with low speed/responsiveness or system crashes.

Microsoft mobile OS have shown to be a piece of crap, with all the respect. Some friends have mobiles with Microsoft OS and they told me they have a lot of trouble with the phone.

Odd, I'd have thought that a more stringent set of hardware requirements would allow the OS to run better than Android with its 93453745303845 possible hardware permutations. A friend of mine has a Lumia phone with WP7 (or 7.5, don't remember), I haven't heard any complaints from him.

If i dint get a new screen some months ago i still hade the same background i posted a few years ago lol.

This is usualy how the first 5 min of my pc looks like when im not working on it yet, after that its a window spam of serveral programs even when using 2 screens.
