I'm glad the shortcut auto elevate trick worked for you, Joe. I also cannot
remember to right-click and Run as Admin, so I use this often.

Perhaps your troubles are due to running on 64-bit? Try more common
scenarios. I always stick way off the bleeding edge.

Joe, are your Vista/VS2005+SP1+VistaUpdate crashes on one machine only?
I'm running that combination daily on a new HP notebook and have had
zero crashes or lockups in the 6 weeks I've had this machine.

One nice thing is when I use this shortcut Vista reminds me that devenv.exe
is running as admin so I know I'm still under the guidance of the UAC.

Thanks again David.

I've also been running that combination for over 3 months and I've had no
problems. To be honest, I typically work on the same things every day so if
it worked at all it would likely continue to work. Lately, I've bee working
on an ASP.NET project with C# code and that all works fine too once I
figured out how to get debugging working on Vista.

I have occasionally been held hostage by Intellisense, but I don't think
that is Vista's fault (my guess is it happens on XP as well).

The rationale for privilege elevation password prompt is that otherwise any
malicious program would be able to do that by API means.
