Every time I go deeper into web pages or click on additonal links within a web the DEP shuts down Internet Explorer and will not take me into where I want to go, It does this on any all sites. Ones that I fully trust to ones that maybe could be a issue but I know are not. Can someone help with this issue or tell me how to disable DEP.
Is there a way to disable the Alt-Tab feature when running full screen games? I use alt and tab to perform functions in game and tab out when i cross them. I know there was a way in XP.
I'm on Vista x64 Home Premium (SP1), and I have a problem. When my laptop got shipped with Vista, I disabled UAC on the spot because of various software incompatibility. Recently I have been led to enable it again because of some failing software. It didn't solve the problem and thus I decided to disable it again. However, this time, when I go on to User Accounts and I click on the "Turn User Account Control (UAC) on or off", it brings up the popup that asks me whether I want to proceed. I click "Yes", expecting the dialog box to show up so that I can successfully disable the UAC. But the dialog box never came up. The UAC popup just closed and the computer remained motionless. I tried rebooting, and manually deactivating UAC using command-line prompts which yielded "Access Denied".
And now, I cannot use my computer effectively, as most of my software is uncompatible with UAC and fails to run. Is there any way to fix this ? I only have one account that is being marked as Administrator, and it seems quite strange that I can't set UAC back off again. Google search didn't help me a lot either - most links only tell me how to actually disable it, which fails on my system....
Is it plausible to disable parts of UAC? this because I hate the parts -blocked startupprograms (in dutch geblokkeerde opstartprogramma's) -'are you sure you want to proceed'-messages (weet u zeker dat u hiermee door wilt gaan) , but the other parts are very usefull. so is it plausible to disable these parts? the only thing I know is how to disable the whole UAC.
Everything was relatively hunky dory until a recent update which prevented my machine from booting. I went to system restore, and it worked. Tried the update again with the same result, and again I did a system restore. Clearly this update is a problem for me. Can anyone tell me how to disable updates?
I pass the mouse over a word (or my contact list) the definition of that word, along with the word in other languages pops up in a box...most of the time covering the part I am reading. This is extremely annoying. If I want to know the meaning of a word I can look it up. It is not necessary to know the meaning of each and every word the mouse passes over!! Can I disable this feature?
I recently bought a new PC with Windows Vista on. It supports HD audio, and came with Realtek HD Audio Drivers. I do however only have 2 "normal" speakers -- no surround equipment or anything like that at all. And I think the audio sounds weird now, compared with my old PC, which did not have this "HD Audio" thing. Is there any way to go back to plain old audio? Maybe it can be done in the Realtek HD Audio confguration in the Control Panel?
I am currently doing an online course which includes some Flash animations. At one point, they want me to press Ctrl+F4 to proceed with the animations. However, this key combinations seems to have already been assigned to closing active window. How can I disable Ctrl+F4?
I've seen posts for months about what a piece of crap TrustedInstaller is. It constantly goes out, buries the CPU, and otherwise makes Vista totally useless. Of my list of 100 annoyances about Vista, this has to be the 1. Is there any way to shut this off? I'm not one of those NOOBS incapable of doing my own updates, why does MS deem fit to kill my machine and check for updates so often?
My computer goes to sleep on its on while, I am using it. How do I completely disable the sleep feature of Vista x64 Ultimate? I have already disabled, hybrid sleep (power options). and hibernate (powercfg -h off in command). I want to completely disable sleep? I tried finding it in BIOS could not find it and no other place.
I've noticed in running my registry cleaner that there are many megabytes of multiple program entries in the registry under Wow6432Node. Is it possible to disable this through i.e. using autorun from sysinternals: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodeMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun] ?
I remember reading somewhere this was important for the operation of Vista but in another post from Woody Leonhard in his column, "Windows Secrets", as stated below, it can be disabled as it's unneeded: "Autoruns works well with Windows 7, rooting out autostart programs in some mighty obscure Windows 7 places, such as the following Registry key:" HKLMSOFTWAREWow6432Node

I have a new laptop running Vista Home Premium. Whenever I log on and the start up runs, I get this note at the bottom right, just above the system tray, saying WILAN is on. I want to disable it, but there is no icon in the system tray. How can I disable this? I used to run XP on my last laptop and had disabled this without any problem.
I'm looking to Share a folder on my Vista Ultimate machine. I want this folder to be accessible via the WAN. Simply put, is this possible? I have not found information going either way right now.
Firewall is using Windows One Care What I've tried: -Enabling File Sharing. -Enabling Public File Sharing. -Enabled Firewall exception for File Sharing.....
I don't want to do this via VPN connection Basically I've tried all I know. So I'm assuming this can't be done, security reasons for this?Probably. I can't even telnet into the above ports to see if it will accept the connection. RDP with port forwarding works fine as does Web Access. Reason? I do programming at both Home and Work, but would like a centralized location of where the projects are stored. If I could get to my Home PCs Shared Folder using the UNC path, that would be great.

1 - I disabled UAC option. 2 - Crap starts happening right after. what crap? Some programs such as tuneup utillites,psp video converter cannot work. Programs that can speed up the system such as programs (that disable some programs to start during pc startup) CRASH now. 3 - Decides to turn on the UAC on again. THEN??when try to turn it on under windows security center,it says " dont have permission to perfrom action,pls contact administrator" (simpified msg)tried ticking it under user account option,keeps unticking again2. tried do registry method using regedit, cannot also. that leads me to create admin account to turn on UAC. So i follow this command in cmd prompt(RIGHT CLICK AND RUN AS ADMIN YEAH I KNOW)
As soon as you install Windows Vista you are bombarded by the Welcome Center that is designed to help beginner Windows users easily configure their new computer. This new welcome screen is a nice feature the first time you start using Windows vista but quickly becomes annoying.
Disabling the Welcome Center is very easy to do and can speed up your boot as well.

First, I added the three programs in the pic to the start up folder, but they get blocked. I have to manually run each one and then accept the UAC. So, I next tried adding to the task scheduler and running at log on, but they still bring up the UAC.
IS there a way to accomplish this for these programs?
