Is there a way to disable the numerous useless security settings in Microsoft Windows Vista?

I'm having problems with many of the security systems in Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium. It refuses to let me open files that I know are safe because it thinks they could be potentially harmful. I just need to know if there is anyway to change the security measures.

Is there a way to disable the numerous useless security settings in Microsoft Windows Vista?
The easiest way is to disable User Account Control (UAC), which is nothing short of irritating. This does no harm to Vista and it works considerably faster without it. Heres how its done:





Click Start and click Control Panel.


Click User Accounts and Family Safety.


Click User Accounts


Click Turn User Account Control on or off.


Click the box beside the Use User Account Control (UAC) to help protect your computer option to remove the check mark.


Click OK.





You will then need to restart your computer.





I have been running Vista from the day it was released and this is one of the first things I did after installing it.





Hope this has helped.

How do I make my Microsoft Word program stop deleting sentences I have already written?

I typed a report using Microsoft Word, and now whenever I try to add in text, the cursor will run over and delete my sentences! PLEASE help, this is a project and I can't work on it until I fix this problem!!!

How do I make my Microsoft Word program stop deleting sentences I have already written?
i am sure it is in OVERWRITE..can you see that OVR button next to the spelling and grammar status..click it twice and if it goes gray then you can type properly...you can see that at the very bottom..
Reply:Push the insert button on your keyboad on the top right part. This will prevent it from deleting the letters.
Reply:That happens when you have hit the 'Insert' Button. Its to the right on the keyboard... hit the button again to turn it off and your typing will go back to normal. Its simple.


How do I copy a Microsoft Word macro into another Word document?

I'm trying to transfer a custom made macro from one Microsoft Word document to another. The macro was set up so that if you selected a gray circle and clicked Ctrl+alt+B, it would turn blue. Similarly, if you selected a blue dot and clicked Ctrl+alt+G, it would turn gray. I tried to copy this across to another word document, but it doesn't work in the new document. I'm obviously not copying it the right way; how do I do it correctly?

How do I copy a Microsoft Word macro into another Word document?
Another more hack-ish solution (once again, without seeing the macro, it's hard to tell) would be to delete the contents of the existing document (Edit %26gt; Select All and then press the "del" key on the keyboard), save it under another name (File %26gt; Save As), and then use the new document as a starting point. This way, your macros will be preserved from the first document without requiring any type of export...





Not ideal, and I'm sure there's a better way of doing this, but it should work...
Reply:The only thing I can think off without seeing the macro (no, I don't want to) is that there might be some other modules in the Word Project that also have to be copied. For instance, what creates that gray circle and blue dot? Are these graphics? If so, where are they?

I need to password a x-mas list, please make sure the answers are for microsoft works and not for microsoft word.

How do i put a password on a microsoft WORKS wordprocessor document?
Works doesn't allow you to password protect a document, but there are programs that will allow you to password protect a file through Windows. Here are two freeware options:

Reply:As far as I know, that's one of the shortcomings of MS Works - you can't. I think it's supposed to make you annoyed with not having this and not having that and deciding to purchase Word...

How to copy save a custom report design as a template on Microsoft Access 2007?

I need help with Access!! Does anyone know how to do this? I inherited a Microsoft Access database from someone else (I'm not the author of it), and now am trying to add new reports to the database that have the same design and format as the reports already present in the database. However, I don't know how to do this without going through and manually copying the report design's which are already in place. Does anyone know of any way easier to do this? Thanks!

How can I stop microsoft word from requesting a virus check every time I open a file on my pc?

These are internal files that I have created myself - they have never been online or exposed to potentially virus infecting environments - there should be no requirement to scan them and it slows my system down significantly. happens with all Microsoft office files - pain in the backside.

How can I stop microsoft word from requesting a virus check every time I open a file on my pc?
Check the settings and preferences of ur antivirus software u hv installed on ur computer. It is antivirus software which is prompting u and not ms word.
Reply:Microsoft office has no virus check that I know of. It warns that macros may potentially contain viruses but does not scan for them. Guess you need to check the settings of whatever antivirus you have.
Reply:Open Word%26gt; Tools%26gt; Option%26gt; Security%26gt; Micro Security%26gt; ClickOpen%26gt; Security Level.

Reply:It is not Microsoft Word that is requesting the virus check. Your machine is running some kind of on-access scanner. It automatically scans all infectable files as they are accessed. Word documents are infectable (by macro viruses), and Word accesses them when it tries to open them - so, the on-access scanner scans them.





If your anti-virus software is any good, it should allow you to exclude from scanning the files that reside in directories specified by you - you can use this feature to prevent it from scanning the large files that seem to be the source of your trouble. If you are not familiar with the anti-virus software you're using, it is best to consult your system administrator.





OTOH, while on-access scanners often cause slow-downs when scanning large files, there is absolutely no reason why a good scanner should slow down when scanning Microsoft Word documents. It is possible to determine very quickly if they are infected or not - without the need to scan the whole file. If this is an option for you, consider switching to a better anti-virus product. In any case, this is a better solution than disabling the scanning for particular files or directories, since the latter lowers the security of your machine - just because these files are clean now does not mean that they might not become infected in the future.
Reply:Ooo, I hate that virus check, hate it! Makes it SO to bring up an internal file. But two different full-time professional software engineers have told me that you can't turn off virus check without putting yourself in danger, that's all there is to it. At least if you're connected to the internet. But if you're offline, with the modem turned off or disconnected, no problem, turn it off and you can go a lot faster. Hope this helps. (I can't tell you just how to turn your virus scan off though because it depends...)
