I'm all for beefing up Windows security (would make my job alot easier!) but I agree with the reviewers; they've overdone it.</div> <br /> <div>This screenshot is a prime example of that, it takes <b>7</b> steps to delete a shortcut off the desktop! <b>7</b>! Thats rediculous!</div> <br /> <div><a href="http://proct.odynia.org/blog/vista_delete_shortcut.jpg" target="_blank">http://proct.odynia.org/blog/vista_delete_shortcut.jpg</a></div> <br /> <div>I'll summarise it here:</div> <ol> <li>Right click on the shortcut and click "Delete". (fairly standard)</li> <li>Asked to confirm deletion of the shortcut. (also standard)</li> <li>For some reason, we're not allowed to put it in the Recycle Bin, confirm we would like to permanently delete it.</li> <li>Apparently we don't have permission to delete the shortcut (!?), confirm that you want to delete it anyway!</li> <li>Windows needs permission to delete the shortcut, confirm again!</li> <li>Having changed its mind, Windows moves the shortcut to the Recycle Bin.</li> <li>Asked to confirm again to empty the Recycle Bin.</li> </ol> <br /> <div>Could you go through this everytime you want to do something simple in Vista? I don't think I could...</div> <br /> <div>-bok</div> Sat, 03 Jun 2006 09:23:58 +1000 http://blog.odynia.org/archives/10-guid.html
