Okay, I have checked those pages out but I did not notice anything about UAC border transparency. What should I do?
VG
^^ Set "User Account Control: Switch to the secure desktop when prompting for elevation" to Disabled.
Saleh
But does'nt that reduce security? I would not want to compromise security for trasparency!
But thanks anyway.
