[QUOTE="danb, post: 866962, member: 62850"] I agree, they need to be as concise as possible. One reason our alerts work so well is that the miniprompt is presented first. Novice and average users should not be forced to make a decision on the spot for a prompt... that is VERY dangerous. Think about it for a second... UAC blurs the screen and forces the user to make a decision, with extremely limited file insight. Our miniprompt makes it so the user is not forced to make a decision. I hear doubters say frequently that novice VS users are unable to handle the prompts. Trust me, if they can handle UAC they can EASILY handle VS prompts. I have seen it in person for 8-9 years. It's funny, novice users seem to understand VS better than a lot of advanced users who overthink VS, simply because they say "oh, that's my toggling computer lock", and they understand it is a lock that is there to protect them, and withing a couple of minutes they completely understand the concept. Whereas advanced users tend to overthink VS and seem to make the main functionality more complicated then it needs to be. [/QUOTE]
