Visual Studio.Net 2008 and Windows Vista Enterprise (Save Problems   

I just recently moved over the using Microsoft Windows Vista - Enterprise 
Edition and Microsoft Visual Studio.Net 2008 Edition. 

I don't know if my questions is a Windows question or a Visual Studio.Net 
2008 question or issue. So, if I've posted in the wrong group, my aplogies. 

I have a web-site's source files on my computer in a folder named 
C:\MyDatabase\Mywebsites\We. This is where my original source files exist. 
Now, what I have done is moved my original source files to the 
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\myapp folder. My web-site runs fine with no problems. 

The problem I have is that when I load the web site from my wwwroot folder 
and I make changes to my Web.Config file, I cannot save my changes. I am told 
I do not have sufficent access rights, even though i am an Administrator. 
That actual message states: [The operation could not be completed. Access is 
denied.]. 

Subsequently, what I must do is save the file to another location (my 
desktop in my situation), go to the desktop and copy and paste the file into 
the actual wwwroot folder outside of Visual Studio.Net 2008. This is actually 
true for all files within the web-site project. This is a very frustrating 
issue to have to deal with. 

My co-worker is able to save is files in any location. The only difference 
between us is that his system loads with Administrator showing at the top. If 
we right click on the Visual Studio short-cut and select Run as Administrator 
then I am able to save the files to the wwwroot folder. 

How can I make it so that when I click on my Visual Studio.Net short-cut it 
loads the application with as Administrator? 

I also have a Windows Vista question. Very frequently, when I'm loading 
certain items, I am shown a dialog box stating "Windows Needs your permission 
to continnue.". I find this message box to be very, very annoying. How can I 
make my system so that this message box does not appear so frequently? 

Thanks in advance for your help.

Re: Visual Studio.Net 2008 and Windows Vista Enterprise (Save Problems   

That thing is called UAC (user account control). You can disable it on your 
own risk (if yuo do a lot of VS2008 development on all types of projects, 
UAC is a bit of too annoying). But you better learn more about it from 
VISTA's help (search for "UAC") before disabling it, so that you know how 
your computer is protected by UAC, and how much risk you are going to take, 
depending how do you use your computer.

Re: Visual Studio.Net 2008 and Windows Vista Enterprise (Save Problems   

When you start VS.Net 2008, right click and select Run as Administrator. 
confirm the UAC warning.
If this right click still bothers create an additional administrator startup 
shortcut.
