This is my location which I found normal.dot (actually normal.dotm [Microsoft Word 2007 has changed the template name]) in Microsoft Windows Vista

# C:\Users\<User name>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates

Replace <User name> with your login account.

When you are on Microsoft Windows Vista Platform. It is hard to create a script that use privilage command. One way is by use the command "Runas" as follow

C:\> Runas /user:Administrator cmd

However, the above command will ask for Administrator password before continue next process. It is not good to create automate script by using above command. After I googling for several week, I found the way to create batch script and it can use privilage command, no administrator password needs, but it will show UAC dialogbox ask to confirm an operation.

Type a text as follow in elevate.js

---------------------------------------------------

// elevate.js -- runs target command line elevated
if (WScript.Arguments.Length >= 1) {
    Application = WScript.Arguments(0);
    Arguments = "";
    for (Index = 1; Index < WScript.Arguments.Length; Index += 1) {
        if (Index > 1) {
            Arguments += " ";
        }
        Arguments += WScript.Arguments(Index);
    }
    new ActiveXObject("Shell.Application").ShellExecute(Application, Arguments, "", "runas");
} else {
    WScript.Echo("Usage:");
    WScript.Echo("elevate Application Arguments");
}

---------------------------------------------------

Then use it as below

• elevate cmd.exe "/t:fc /k cd /d c:\ && title ** Admin console ** "
• elevate mybatchscript.bat
• elevate route add ....... bra bra bra..

Hope this entry help all of you who want to create administrator script on vista.

Now, I can fixed the problem which I cannot use IIS7.0 and Visual Studio.NET 2005 on Vista

My Problem of HTTP Error 500.19 (Cannot read web config) is because

"I set EFS(file encryption) to the directory that I make development" - -'

There are another solutions that relate to this issues such as if you create project on Desktop of Vista or in Users folder, you must set "read" permission to the "Users" user

Now, Microsoft has been released patch KB941600 that can resolved some incompatible from USB devices. After I install this patch, My Lapazz Digitizer Tablet is now work well with USB Hub 2.0.

I haven't try my HP Webcam yet but from the information in KB941600, it might be resolve this problem too. because it said that they fixed a problem if we disable a device and enable it again, it cannot work properly. (Yes, my webcam have this problem too).

Hope my Microsoft Windows Vista work better.
