Aren't those prompted warning messages controlled by your administrators,

within your office or organization? well pretty much the application control

and policy controls within your organization is not controlled by Microsoft

but by your Administrator.

 

Better inquire/contact your administrator about the grounds and parameters

wherein that message should appear and how to go over it since you require

such actions without you seeing that message.

If you Google "maximum number of secrets" you will get quite a few hits,

including this thread shown at Techarena. But one answer struck me...."are

you using fake CD burning/copying software"?

That weird error notice could only come from China where the grasp of

English is rather tenuous at best.

The Consitituion is alive and well! Your interpration of it may be

hazy due to you being a Canadian though. The Consitituion protects ALL

citizens from many things. One of them being the rights of many as

opposed to the rights of the individual. You MAY NOT, for example,

yell FIRE in a movie theater, or other crowded place, depite the Right

of Free speech! There are many other examples of inidviduals rights

being limited due to the "needs of the many", as Spock said!

If this is your laptop, you are your own default "System Administrator"

and if this problem remains ... you might try the following...

 

Investigate the last program you installed...

 

this error has been successfully removed (or fixed) by uninstalling a

software application that had not successfully complete its installation

process

 

In this specific case the program was PCTools "Registry Mechanic". In your

case another application may produce the same error. Try uninstalling and

reinstalling the application.

 

Please post your results to help the next VISTA user

 

Good Luck

Re: NOW WHAT? "The maximum number of secrets that may be stored i

 

Just battled this out on an Acer Aspire desktop. Vista home premium. It

turned out to be Webroot Spysweeper that was the offending program that

caused the "the maximum number of secrets that may be stored in a single

system has been exceeded" message. Un-installed it and now system restore

works fine. No more message. As a note the program was functioning and

seemingly working ok but apparently something was wrong... Hope this helps...
