Uninstall to use Wrye Bash?

[HouseAtlantic]

I have Oblivion installed into the default directory, "Program Files\Bethesda Softworks"

I use windows vista and heard that turning Off the User Account Control function will enable Wrye Bash to work, without re-installing everything to another location.

I was wanting to know if this is true, Thanks!

Yes, this UAC thing is another of those microsoftian's absurdities. Windows Never was friendly toward multiuser environment and was to be expected Vista, being rewritten from scratch would be better at this, but they already began the wrong way.

 

And getting rid this thing is good to any other thing you can think, it does a much better job at boring to death and controlling the user than actually protecting him.

 

Seems MS is getting better selling results with it than with it's 'brother' Millenium, both have something in common, they were/are the transition step toward something that actually works more than consume machine resources and control and blindly guide the users.

 

PS edit: that acronym is wrong ... the "A" there is misplaced.

:happy:

I used to keep UAC turned on, because I thought it was actually doing something

'til it started controlling my avast anti-virus like i didn't know what i was doing..

For multiple user accounts or public computers, it's great, but having to choose "Yes" everytime I want to simply add textures to my data folder.. I'll be alright without that. Thanks, nos!
