I am trying to disable Inprivate Browsing, but a search always brings me to the tutorial for keeping on or off Inprivate Filtering....are these things the same? I am confused. I can't seem to find simple directions for disabling Inprivate Browsing. Maybe somebody can shed some light on this?

View 3 Replies View RelatedA number of my staff at school have been experiencing difficulties using Windows Vista to attempti access to the netwowk server remotely through what the department calls 'terminal services'. After some investigation, it seems that what is necessary is to disable user access control, reboot so that the new settings can take effect, and then access the server using the driver the department supplies.
I presume of course that at the conclusion of a user session, if one wants UAC enabled, one must essentially follow one of these procedures in reverse. Pretty cumbersome, and unlikely to appeal, I guess. I was wondering if it might be simpler to have a special user on one's Vista machine that has UAC disabled, so that when one wanted to access the server, one could simply log on as that user.
Is there a way to do this? Say if I wanted to disable 3 out of the 4 cores on an AMD Phenom X4 processor.
Is this totally dependent on my motherboard BIOS and CPU itself?

View 4 Replies View Related1) before disabling it my RAM usage was always under 50%. it mostly remained around 33% to 45%. when i significantly reduced its size to 200MB fixed, i still didnt see change in RAM usage.
2) after disabling page file my RAM usage would start at the same 33% and after some time easily get over 50%. even upto to 68-70% which it never touched before.
3) there was also a very visible performance boost.
i measured RAM usage with the multi metre sidebar gadget. it is not a one day usage. i have used pagefile for over a year and no paging for a month.
My Pavilion Vista laptop has been running slower and slower. Especially while on the web. Pages take forever to come up. Even program files or the All Programs menu. I have tried disabling Windows Defender thinking it might be scanning everything. Is this a possibility?
View 9 Replies View RelatedSomeone has suggested a possible 'cure' for the many Win Mail probs I am experiencing would be for me to:-
1, Uninstall my McaFee
2. Then install another anti-virus prog ("AVG") disabling "just the part that scans email".
Sorry if I am being dumb but surely that would result in my leaving myself wide open to even more probs (i.e. importing viruses)?
New behavior on new Vista HP 64bit installation. Was working fine 4 days ago; had been shut down until last evening. Have installed minimum additional apps, all reportedly 64bit compliant. IE 8 message when starting IE - "Last browsing session closed unexpectedly, Restore previous session or open homepage?" Either choice results in "IE has stopped working, Windows checking for solution"... "A problem caused IE to close, Windows will close program and notify you if solution". IE closes, no solution found. Have tried disabling add-ons, have reset IE settings to default, have disabled McAfee internet security. Have run antivirus scans, malware scans (all clean), my System Restore points were (unknowingly) turned off so my most recent restore point is from last evening, AFTER the problem began. What next? I'm at the point where I COULD run clean install of Vista HP.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI use my laptop both at home and at work. I have mapped a network drive to a shared folder on one of my home computers. Now, logically, every time I use my laptop at work, I get a balloon message saying not all network drives could be restored (or similar, I'm translating from dutch). I know that, and I'm not expecting it to be. I just don't want to do it by hand every time I log on to my home network.
Is it possible to disable that balloon? I've found this old (2004) article for XP that allows disabling ALL notification balloons: but most balloons actually contain useful information.

I have a domain with several Vista boxen with users who are local Admins but not Domain Admins (accomplished using Restricted Groups). I need to ensure that these users do not disable User Account Control on their machines as I am sure they will be tempted to do so. Is there a way I can do this (perhaps through Group Policy)?
I found several UAC-related settings and enforced them, but nothing stops them from disabling it entirely. Is there anything I can do besides the obvious choice of not granting them Administrative privileges?
I accidently unplugged my external hard drive from the USB port, (got it mixed up with headset). When I plugged it back in the "Safely Remove Hardware" icon popped up. I unticked/unchecked, Display device components. Rebooted, and the Icon still appeared. I find it annoying and want to hide it.

Is it possible to disable the Security Center Alerts on Vista (no icon, no notifications) via command line or by script? Turning off UAC by modifying a certain registry entry turned out to be easy (using the reg.exe command line utility), however I can't find a way to do the same for the Security Center Alerts. I am willing to write some scripting code if that is what it takes.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI've disabled this on other systems without a problem, but I have one that I cannot disable it on. In fact I can't seem to be able to change anything in 'Turn Windows features on/off'.
Vista Home Premium 32bit, I have administrator rights, UAC is turned off, and I have tried it in both normal mode and safe mode. It looks like it's working, then just tells me that 'An error has occured, and not all features could be changed'. Doesn't matter what option I try to change (enable/disable).
I've asked this in a couple other forums over the last couple of weeks with no response (except to tell me I need to be an administrator). Just wondered if anyone else has come across this.

Web browsing is extremely slow and in some cases times-out on visiting a lot of sites (but not all). Downloading files is no problem and my rate is great. It seems as if the problem is related to a Windows Update because everything was working fine, then one day just started happening. The problem does not exist when this notebook computer is hardwired or on other computers (non-Vista) that access this router. The problem also does not exist on some public wireless access points. There were a lot of updates that happened at the same time, so I have not started pulling them out one-by-one. I can't help but think someone else is experiencing this problem and may have found a solution. All drivers are updates and router has the latest firmware. I did the netsh autotuning disable when I first setup the computer (as it was a problem on a lot of Vista desktops that I have worked with).
I have followed the instructions re. Internet Explorer 8, ie. Click safety, click delete browsing history, and it says 'please wait while history is deleted', but when I go back it's still there
