Just some questions about Vista please

[SkScotchegg]

Hi there, please can you tell me why in vistax86+all updates has this wierd folder format? and somedays it has this format where theres stars? and other days it reverts back to the normal sort of folder format?

Just seems to do this on its own, and its annoying, and never seems to remember my format, how I like it, windows get resized and everything? I didnt have this problem in xp.

Also how can we turn off this administrator crap? other day took me like half an hour to work out why windows wasnt letting me save a file I'd eddited in the windows folder with notepad, and in the end it was all because I'd not ran notepad as administrator.

If you can answer those two questions it'll be much appretiated.

Thanks in advance,

P.S. I forgot, also, what is this folder synchronization business? it was installed with office and when I right click in a folder it says do you want to synchronize your folders and asks me to make an account? What is that for and what does it do please?

Give you normal user administration rights and the second problem goes away.

Vista decides what it thinks the folder is by what is in it and ****s it up accordingly. You can go into options and make all the folders look the same, but sometimes Vista is so screwed it ignores that anyway

Synchronisation allows you to have two machines and work on each and the latest files update to each other when connected.
