I don't know of anyway to modify it. But if you have the standard windows icons visible it won't load so that tells me there is a way to disable it and it may be possible to disable it in a script.

I mess around so much with the system that I couldn't bear the UAC eventually. I tried levaing it on for a long time, but eventually I gave up because it slowed me down too much. And the switch to the secure desktop is just brutal. I got along with XP and previous Windows just fine running as an admin, I can't ever recalling being affected by virus or malware.

I got a new system comming soon as well. I didn't plan on it as my current system works very well even though it's over three and a half years old. Still get 4.2 perfomance rating in Vista.

But it's hard to ignore a phone ringing. There is so much advertising around anyways that I don't want it seeking up me in my own home. I've stopped shouting at telemarketers, and instead I simply pretent to be interested for a while until I just say "No thank you. By the way I've reserved myself from telemarketing

When I bought my computer over three years ago I bought it from Dell. To my dismay I found that the monitor had a red stuck pixel in the upper right corner. It turns out taht Dell, along with most, got a dead/stuck pixel policy where a certain amount is considered ok. Well, it's not ok in my world. I'm really picky with details. That pixels has taunted me for years when make graphics. And it was really bugging me when playing games and the radar display would be in the same area as th
