Vista Hates Me !

  • Artikel

I wanna like Windows Vista, really I do.

But, like a loud child, I have to WORK at liking it.

After finally turning off all the redundant Security Dialogs….

  1. – Do you wanna do this ?
  2. – Are you SURE you wanna do this ?
  3. – It might be dangerous, are you really really sure ?

I’m settling down to really work on Vista and I’m finding lots to complain about.

Today’s complaint is this.

I downloaded and installed the AJAX Control Toolkit and tried to open up the Toolkit Solution and I get this.

NotTrusted

Well, it turns out that the files contained in the Zip file are not trusted because they came from the internet.

So I can do this….

UnBlock

I can “Unblock”.

My problem is that there doesn’t appear to be a way to do it at the directory level, so I have to do it for each of thousands of files.

I know that I’m old and crotchety, and I( understand that these security enhancements are for users that need the security assistance.

I want the Windows Vista Features.

I also want6 w Wizard that I can run that tells Vista _ TRUST EVERYTHING I DO AND DON’T EVER ASK ME AGAIN !!!!!

    Woah. Calm down Joe. Vista isn't for you, it's for your grandma, but here's how you can get it to work for you better.

Control PanelUser AccountsUser Accounts Turn User Access Control Off. 2) Is actually not Vista-Centric, it exists in Windows XP and is a function of IE.

    You could unblock the zip file before extracting it's content, I always do that when I download code in ZIP format. Hope this helps! I like Vista!

    I /think/ that if you just unblock the zip file first, the files you extract from it will be unblocked. This is actually the same on XP (in terms of the Unblock button) but maybe Visual Studio on Vista doesn't want to open them more than Visual Studio on XP doesn't want to.?

    If you unblock the zip and re-extract the files, it works fine.

    Hey Joe, Nice post, and the reason why many of us have put off moving to Vista. Microsoft should give us a Vista Developer SKU that comes pre-configured to run development environments without questioning every keystroke. Hmmm... maybe someone will write a configuration script that will set up an existing Vista SKU that way?

    Joe, I've watched you on DNR TV, so I know you're the guy, but are you running VS as Admin? Ya know, right-click the VS icon and choose "Run as Admin?" Also, do you have the VS Vista SP installed?

    You can prevent this from happening by either:

  • unblocking the ZIP file before extracting files
  • not using the built-in ZIP extraction in Windows, but a program such as WinZip It is also possible to unblock files (which is nothing more than removing the "Zone.Identifier" Alternate Data Stream  from a file) using the "ZoneStripper" utility: See http://www.jameskovacs.com/blog/SearchView.aspx?q=zonestripper
