Some questions about the Vista...
-
Run as Administrator: 1.) When your account type is administrator, why do you need to set the shortcut to "Run as Administrator" in order to have that privilege? Shouldn't that be the default privilege? Partitions: 2.) Back in the DOS days, up until XP, there are "Primary Partition", and the rest of the physical harddrive is called "Extended Partition", which includes "logical Partition". For example, drives C: D: and E:, C is the Primary Partition, and D, E are Logical Partitions that are part of the Extended Partition. Then you set the drive that contains Master Boot Record to be "Active", usually it's the C drive. When I use the Vista CD to partition and format the drive, every drive is set as "Primary" itself. Are there any distintions between Primary, extended, and logical partitions in the Vista? Or is this concept not used anymore? I used to use Partition Magic to partition harddrive, and before that, fdisk. This is the first time I use Vista CD to do this task, so I don't know if it's any different with XP CD. Thanks
