Guest eganders Posted September 18, 2008 Posted September 18, 2008 How can I get around this? Is there a place where I can disable some parts of the security profile? In Internet Explorer: Dragging and dropping the icon in the present URL to the links bar is allowed. Dragging and dropping the icon to a FOLDER on my links bar creates an access denied!##%%!! I am sick of this type of security. The stupid thing is I can drag and drop it to the links bar, cut it and PASTE it into the folder. Thanks, Microsoft, for the added extra steps in the name of security. This type of nonsense makes a joke of security. microsoft.public.security Quote

Could have been just about any Windows version (and Service Pack level) and IE version (e.g., IE5.x; IE6; IE7; IE8B2) in this newsgroup, which is not a Vista-specific newsgroup. Vista-specific newsgroups include: microsoft.public.windows.vista.administration_accounts_passwords microsoft.public.windows.vista.file_management microsoft.public.windows.vista.games microsoft.public.windows.vista.general microsoft.public.windows.vista.hardware_assessment microsoft.public.windows.vista.hardware_devices microsoft.public.windows.vista.installation_setup microsoft.public.windows.vista.mail microsoft.public.windows.vista.music_pictures_video microsoft.public.windows.vista.networking_sharing microsoft.public.windows.vista.performance_maintenance microsoft.public.windows.vista.print_fax_scan microsoft.public.windows.vista.security Methinks you need to bone up on Vista's UAC and Protected Mode.

Methinks that this behavior is not consistant. I should not have to learn about something that behaves in an inconsistant and non intuitive way. I don't think I am alone in this thinking because Vista (which has a lot of good features) is not having a good time in the marketplace BECAUSE of this type of behavior. I started on this rough road trying to migrate my old applications to Vista. The security got in the way, so I turned it off during the installation process. I really would like to follow the concept of using the UAC, but not when a person has to deal with this type of behaviour. So far it looks like no one has an answer to the "simple" problem I put forward, which underscores the problem further. If there is no problem here but my "need to bone-up on the way Vista works", then why no answer??? Quote
