As I said before, I've tried some of these and didn't like them. I have TB
on the W-7 PC now. Using another client wont help the next time I want to
move something and get the same "permissions" crap. I'd like to disable the
damn security thing NOW and not be back in a couple of days because of the
same thing with some other files. No one here seems to know how it's done
correctly so the damn "permissions" window don't come up again. User
Account Control setting's bar doesn't do it. That just stops the other
window that asks for permission, not tells you you need permission.

Why would I want Linux when non of my software would work on it? It's a
whole different OS.

Wine? Mint? !?!??!?! It would cost me over $100 to have a tech-geek come
out from town and install another OS. I would then lose the warranty on the
new PC.
I'm curious. If you have Linux, why are you on a Windows NG?
