I´ve mentioned it on another thread and I´ll say it here as well...

Vista got this "bulletproof" protection wich means that the regular "users" cant do anything. Sometimes even not being allowed to start certain programs. The way around this is to "run as administrator" as mentioned above.

BUT! There is a way to make Vista run like XP when talking about this "Controll-freak-operating-system". Look in the controllpanel for UAC (Users Accounts Controll) and turn it off. After that, there is no need to run as administrator etc. For example, the screenshots ends up in the correct folder at once...

If you are having trouble finding the way to turn off UAC, look at these:

or:

Good luck!
