    I just bought a new laptop with Vista installed. I HATE it. I tried to edit a file (stunnel config) from the program file folder and I CANT. Keeps giving me message cant find path. Im ready to throw this thing thru the wall. Any suggestions on how to fix this? I have googled to try and find a fix and am getting no where. I have tried all suggestions and Im still not able to do it. HELP!!!!

    You'll have to disable UAC.

    Start->Run and type: msconfig

    Look in the Tools tab
    Find and highlight Disable UAC - click the launch button
    Reboot the pc

    There is another option; see my suggestions in rhis thread. I think it's an unnecesary mistake to disable vista's security.

    Edit: I've found that, after running this way for a month, one can restore the vista theme without losing the rest of the changes.
