    I actually like vista, kinda by jaqie2007-07-10 01:17:49
      My first run-in into vista security: by EnzoMatrix 2007-07-10 01:32:49
Mind you, this trick isn't done often:
I had to change my hostfile.... (The one in Windows\system32\drivers\etc\) Vista apparently doesn't
take kindly to that...

Me: Notepad, open hosts, add line, save and close.

Notepad: Are you sure you want to save here?

Me: Yes.

Notepad: I'm not. Access denied.

Me: wtf.. Oh well, ehh.. Name the file hosts2 (I'll delete hosts ,and then rename hosts2 to hosts.)

Notepad: Nu-uhh.. Access denied to this map.

Me: [Insert some dirty words about dominance and ignorant programmers here]
Save to my documents...

Notepad: Done.

Me: Copy My Documents\hosts file to Windows\system32\drivers\etc\...

Explorer: U sure?

Me: Grrrr....

Explorer: Ok ok... Relax.. Done.


Good thing this is my office laptop... Vista, in my opinion was NOT a good move..
