Thanks but I've got IE and no desire to put firefox (another security =
hole like that) on my machine. I like IE wrapper/lock  type addons like =
crazybrowser or maxthon.

Perhaps a good suggestion to the vista team would be to turn off all the =
newbie popup questions and such for the administrative user. One of my =
big complaints with XP was that there was no "stop with the second =
guessing me and assuming you know what I want, I'm an experienced
user" = setting.

Another suggestion would be for a "I don't want to learn windows
again, = make it act and look like W2K" switch.

     It can't.  In the scenario described here, the app was installed as =
an administrator.  firefox might not even install except as an admin.  =
Give a try and let us all know.
