Dave, I did a clean install of Windowblinds, but because the files had been updated since the last time I had tried it (back in December), it's possible that the improvements to the UI were because of the update and not the permissions change. I can't remember if I was in the standard account or the admin account when I ran the batch file, but I'll try it again from the administrator account. Also, I overcame the administrator error I was getting when I tried to uninstall Stard

Sorry for the vaguely worded update. My Vista machine is currently setup with four accounts; an administrator account (w/ password) that is not routinely used, and three standard user accounts for my wife, my son and myself. These standard accounts are the ones used on a daily basis. I'm attempting to run this way in order to take advantage of the improved security in Vista.

Is this a bug in WB6 or am I just doing something wrong? Regards, Emilio

I just installed WindowBlinds 6 on a new computer running Vista Home Premium. I've got the machine configured with a "master" administrative account and several standard user accounts. UAC is active and we're trying to do the right thing security-wise by only working with standard accounts. The problem is that the WindowBlinds skins are only showing up on the full-access administrator account. When I try to run WindowBlinds in the standard accounts the dialog box comes up mostly black,
