    Public Folders

    Nevermind i read your question wrong, i thought you just wanted to stop sharing them. You need to take ownership of the C:\users\public folder, and then delete it. Thats what i did. I share specific drives and folders and have no use for the public folders.

    Shortcut icons keep changing?

    Almost seems like a notifications feature. Downloading update - arrow down, installing update - installer icon, and updated - checkmark. And then of course the regular shortcut arrow. The uac shields mean that program is set to always be run as administrator, without specificly having to do so...

    What's your Internet Speed?

    I think speedtest.net is a little messed up today. I keep getting results like this on verizon 3g. I wish it was that good. I dont even get that on my cable internet.

    What's your Internet Speed?

    I think comcast just gave my upload speed a major boost. I use to only get 3mbs for the longest time, then last year it went to 6mbs, and I just tested now and got a whopping 28mbs. You can look at my post from a few days ago above, it was only 6mbs.

    UAC Wrinkles

    It seems like it prompts for every other program you run. Not to mention i do a lot of tweaking. I also admit i do some not so legit things. But i dont need a guardian hanging over me. If i want to look in a certain folder or modify a certain file, i am aware i want to do it, and dont need to be...

    UAC Wrinkles

    UAC is the first thing i turn off after a fresh windows os install. It is the most annoying thing microsoft has ever produced. "Are you sure you want to run this file" Yes thats why i clicked on it. "You need to provide administrative priviliges." I am the damn admin. If you know what your...

    Media Center Key Error!!! Please Help

    I think mircosoft has hit the breaks on this deal, as they realized that pirated copies of win8 can be legitimatley activated with the free mce key. However i think they will not admit this and instead just claim to have an issue with the site giving out the keys. I had signed up for one and a...

    Update issues WIndows 8

    Well you could try refreshing it by running systemreset.exe in C:\windows\system32. Or you could start from scratch and fresh install windows, but thats quite a job if you have it all setup.
