    Hi All
    I've taken the plunge and Vista ult is now on my Media centre under the TV, and Vista Business on my main pc.
    Media centre has been superb and the WAF (wife acceptance factor) is high (better than it was with MCE 2005!)

    Two things I haven't yet been able to find out are
    1. is there a way to auto login with a password, like having TweakUI on XP?
    2. How do I change the 'all users' start menu around? I cannot seem to get access to it no matter what I do.

    Cheers

    Spotta

    1. Start, type control userpasswords2 (note the space) and press enter. Put a tick in 'Users must enter.....'

    2. Have you tried turning off UAC?

    1. Is already ticked. but I was after a way of auto login on, like TweakUI would do with XP and log you on with your password without any user intervention.

    2. I have been on 'auto elevate to admin' since installing. This has worked fine up to now. I tried it with UAC totally disabled, but it made no difference apart from breaking a sidebar gadget I use to monitor my media centre =[
