Hi Rock,

Thanks for your reply.

With my firewall, anti virus system and spyware/adware checker running, I
think I'll turn off UAC anyway. I want to take a step forward with Vista,
and can only see me going backwards at 110 m/h with all the extra prompts
and time to display the messages etc.

Note that turning it off still did not fix this jscript problem :(
