Rename file - click 3 times

Alan T

I encountered some of the files when I rename them I need to get rid of 3
pop up confirmation boxes.
Why is that?

Hi Alan,

That would be Vista's UAC (User Account Control) security. It is to
help protect you from you changing something you may not want to change.
It is normal for Vista.

Yes, Alan. Vista assumes you're a complete moron. You can disable this
'security' feature in control panel - user accounts - disable - turn user
account control off

3 times though? That is a little excessive...even just once would already
annoy me.

UAC is not to protect YOU from changing things....UAC is to protect
your system or files from being changed by someone else, it is just
asking if YOU are the one who is doing it. So in reality UAC is giving
you more control over your system. If your working with files under
your login in your user folder, UAC does not prompt.

Now that my system is set up with the programs I use, I rarely get any
UAC prompts.

Shouldn't asking once be sufficient though? =)
