I agree with you although I can understand why since WIN 7 has offered a degree of control over UAC and not just ON/OFF if you knew how to. All organizations have limited resources and have to give priority to what they consider more important.

We also don't know the hasards of interfering with what Microsoft regards as part of the security system, regardless of whether we agree with Microsoft or not.

Even though it is a useful programme I don't imagine a lot of people are using it and that would make it commercially difficult to carry on developing it.

As you point out, huwyngr we also don't know what Microsoft's view is and, no doubt they would prefer that their built-in security isn't messed with.

I just created a new thread cause I didn't see this one. I really would love to see Norton making a 7 version.

7 just isn't much better with the UAC. 

Hi eezdva,

The answer over here is, unfortunately, the same one as in your other thread. 

Yeah, I am part of that forum too. But that doesn't cover the wonderfull feature of the Norton UAC. Where you can decide for trusted apps to not notify you anymore and for untrusted to keep it to the default.

huwyngr you echo my concern about third party programs, even utilities as solid as Norton, modifying or taking control from Windows 7, at this point, for basic OS configuration.

 What I would really like to see from Symantec is to focus on what they do best and improving the tools they already offer to integrate and perform better under Windows 7 and Vista.

 Not to be contrary with the wishlists or feature requests of others but I don't really want overlays for existing Windows tools.  It's not that difficult to get to the UAC center in Win 7.  I would like to see continuing effort put into enhancing backup tools and developing a robust defrag utility (ala Diskeeper, etc) instead of hooking into existing Windows tools.
