Window 7 initial beta is a lot more bug-free than the first beta of Vista, that's for sure! So far, I'm reasonably impressed with it for a first cut.

I have a hard time bringing it out of 'sleep' mode in the morning. I have been just hard resetting it, but, was a bit more patient this morning, and it finally woke up....but, I'm talking a couple of minutes or more

Just found out I can't customize my folder icons with UAC turned off.
I wonder what else won’t work with UAC turned off ??

I think Microsoft has made some stuff not work with UAC turned off, it seems almost to be deliberate.

If you turn on uac and make changes do they stay when you switch uac back off?

Yes .. But there's rebooting involved in changing the User Annoyance Control.

I'm sure they'll get feedback on that from a lot of people. It may just be a restriction. Hopefully they "fix" it in the shipping version.

I changed UAC to the lowest setting before totally off, and it only pops up occasionally. The other stuff started working, so I'll leave it like that for now.

UAC turned off
Hi..
Can anyone help? I have Windows 7 installed but I can't seem to get my gadgets to come up on my destop. I have turned off my UAC and I still see a little red x on the picture icon for the gadgets, so when I click on the icon, nothing comes up. What should I do? Thanks

UAC must be turned ON for the gadgets to work ... or at least be seen ..
But it sounds like you may be describing another problem.
