Mapping to drive windows vista

The problem is the UAC service - a new addition in Vista which basically requires re-authentication for every action you try to perform. My resolution was to turn the service off. This is done by typing the "msconfig" command into the Run command line. This opens a set of services and features which can be be turned on or off using check blocks. There are multiple tabs in the window and I do not recall where exactly the command is located.

After checking the block to stop or turn off the UAC feature, save the configuration and re-boot. Problem resolved. Your email address will not be published. Notify me of followup comments via e-mail. You can also subscribe without commenting.
