Is it just me???
Does anyone else find xp to be really really irritating?
I am tired of pop up boxes appearing from the corner of my
screen at odd moments, Tired of xp constantly trying to
automate things when I put in a CD (which often interfers
with the programme I actually want to use the cd with) but
most of all I am totally sick of things not working
because they were installed by someone else (even tho I am
down as an administrator), and by the time the IT guys
have rejigged my user account, no matter how hard they try
to make sure they've copied everything over, I always lose
some customized settings on my programmes and it wastes so
much time resetting. There's a difference between
security and paranoia and most of the stuff built into xp
for security definitely falls onto the paranoia side of
the line. If my computer is off line for some reason it
stupid that I can't work at another because I don't have
an account on it; it's a waste of time all round to have
to get someone from IT to set one up, not all companies
need that level of security. Is it possible to switch it
off?
Sorry, don't mean to rant but I have lost 2.5 hours today
because of xp's little foibles
