Vista issue?

Hi, if I may, I'm using the evil and accursed Vista. I use a thumb drive to escape 98% of the evils of Vista. It can't hide the files that way. I just create files on the thumb drive and I know where they are. Heh, just beat their system... And shared it. Heh heh.

The point of this is in the email portion of this game. Its much easier to ship the files if you have a easily accessible file,(not hidden) from the email system.

Yeah. But switching off the User Account Control sh*t is enough. It reverts Vista to the XP file management policy, more or less...

Of course, if you switch that control, you also loose expose yourself to some classical security issues this control was intended to fight. But as long as you're a safe user of your computer (efficient AV, not downloading hacked stuff, X stuff, Real Casino 250.000$ congrats you're the winner stuff, mails from dubious origin & so on), you're not really exposed.
