I just setup a Microsoft account on my Win 8 Pro X64 system to play with. As part of the process it asked me to enter a Security Code that they would send me. This is pretty dumb as at that point there was no way for me to receive the security code so I clicked the Can't do this now button...

I don't understand why Microsoft requires UAC to be enabled for me to use any Modern Apps or the App Store. I always turn off UAC and one of the programs I use, Object Rexx from IBM does not run correctly with UAC enabled. I find the UAC prompts intrusive and extremely annoying and as far as I'm...

Does anyone have a good writeup on moving Outlook Express to Windows Live Mail under Windows 8.1? I've tried to follow half a dozen different writeups I found for this but none of them work right. WLM is a PITA. Once installed I can't get it to have only the account I want. It always has...
