Issue with vista and windows 7

[odizzido]

The problem is caused by the UAC "dimming" your desktop. In windows 7 you can push the UAC down a setting which just disables the dim.

In vista I am not sure, I never ran vista.

I was curious. Here is how to do it with vista

You will need to open up regedit via the start menu search box. Browse down to this registry key:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Policies\System]

Right-click in the right-hand pane and create a new 32-bit DWORD value called PromptOnSecureDesktop, setting the value to 0.
