    Sec.pol.msc in Vista
    I have now installed my dual boot system on 2 separate partitions, thanks to the advice from Scottgem, Curlyben & Biggsie.

    However I now have 2 other problems.

    1) Every time I boot up into Vista I get the annoying User Account Control window popping up asking me to deny or allow a program to run. This program is my Netgear wireless router.

    I have checked on this and apparently I should run the 'sec.pol.msc' via my Accessories. I am using Vista Home Premium and MS in their infinite wisdom have not included this tweak in the Home Premium OS, only in the larger ones, i.e. Professional. Why MS never thought that we 'Home' users may not need it I don't know.

    Obviously because of this MS omission I cannot tweak this annoyance.

    Can anyone tell me if there is a solution to this in Home Premium?

    2) I use a Wireless Keyboard and since installing Vista on my PC, sometimes I can use the keyboard to select the dual boot system I wish to load and sometimes the keyboard just will not work, but it does when I have booted into the Vista and XP OS.

    All other functions work on the keyboard when the Vista & OS systems are running, its just the startup sequences, which is also very annoying as I have to have both a wireless keyboard and a wired keyboard available.

    Can anyone advise me on this please.

    Thank you.

    No doubt I shall have other questions as I get familiar with Vista.
