Is Vista a little too Message Box Happy!!!
-
does anybody else here think that some developer on the Vista team got a bit stoked about the message box functionality and decided to put it everywhere? I want to change attributes on a folder from read only to normal and i will get 3 message boxes telling whats happening, I wouldn't mind but when I right click on the folder and check the attributes they are still read only!! I get all the message boxes but no action!!
Kind Regards, Gary

I believe that XP introduced all directories being marked as read only, event if you remove the read only attribute. It should still apply the removal of the read only attribute though if you select to go through all files and directories contained within. Not sure why XP and later would show directories as read only though. But yeah, 3 message boxes has gotta be annoying just to do that simple operation through. You could probably work around that using the command prompt with the attrib command though...

If I wanted to work on the command prompt I would've stuck to Unix :-) This is what gets me about GUI operating system. Sometimes it is so pointless, when you have to resort to using the command line to do the simple things!! I already use the command line FTP because the GUI keeps on falling over. Why did MS bother with the GUI?
