Well, a few posts back I? talked about how I had to turn off all security just so I could connect to work using VPN adn IE7.? It’s bad enough that I had to turn off all the security in IE regarding ActiveX stuff…but now every single time open Internet Explorer 7 to do anything in Windows Vista security error messaging takes over and gives me this:

I mean, now - every single time I open IE this “Security Settings at Risk” page are my default home page.? Ever time - and I don’t see any way to change it!? I can get to my default home page “if” I click the home button, but that’s the only way.? ? ? Also - Windows Vista (being big brother and all) now pastes this little info bar on the top 1/2″ of each and every web page that I surf saying “You current security settings put your computer at risk.? Click here to change your security settings.”

There is a little “x” at the right of the browser to close this little bar, but it’s only temporary.? If you type in or navigate to another page, or open a new tab or windows it comes right back.? This constant nagging basically is Windows Vista saying “we know you turned off the security, but that’s a very, very bad thing - and you probably don’t know any better (idiot).? So, we’re going to bug you, and bug you, and nag you until you turn the security back on again - and there’s no way to stop us from bugging you - FOREVER!”

Didn’t I pay for Windows Vista?? Shouldn’t “I” be in charge of what I turn on and off?

Windows Vista - you manage to SUCK (again).
