Eyes to See, Ears to Hear

I discovered the new feature User Account Control in Vista. It turns out what I thought was a software compatibility issue was simply a lack of learning on my part as to how Vista helps you control changes that happen to your computer.  Among these monitored ‘changes’ is defragmentation (I have a nice freeware called Auslogics Disk Defrag).  If you are logged in with administrator rights, you have to first right click on the icon of a program that will perform a ‘change’ and select ‘Run as administrator’.  Now that I know about this feature, I like it.  You can disable it in the Control Panel if you don’t like to have this extra security measure.  But, Vista does recommend that you have it enabled.
