Why on earth should we have to log in as the "secret administrator" to simply copy some files that are sitting on another computer? (files that are already shared by XP with permissions to "share" and "allow network users to change my files")
Doesn't anyone at MS scratch their head and ask themselves if this makes sense? Why on earth are we required to do things like this?
The other solutions on this topic are equally ridiculous. ie.
-Requiring the files be PUSHED from the XP machine rather than pulled from the Vista machine? Huh? What if the files are on a server in another room? That's silly!
- Requiring we disableUser Access Control (then just what good is UAC in the first place?)
- Requiring we log in a secret administrator? (is every user out there who wants to share files in my office supposed to do this)
I can't believe Vista has been out this long and it still suffers from bugs like this. Simply amazing.
Agreed, you shouldn't have to be the "secret admin" -- was just commenting that the person was NOT the Admin they thought they were.
As to your last comment, I'm amazed too at the sheer number of serious problems that still arise with Vista -- which is why I've pretty much stopped using it altogether and have switched over to Windows Seven.
