This opens up file sharing features with in vista. Just like in XP.
Go to Microsoft and search for UAC concearning Vista's Security features.

Hope this helps.. Dr. X
I agree with Dr X the latest limewire does work with vista Business edition and ultimate. These are the two platforms I have tested it with.
The only thing is I did not have to do anything special to get it to work, just get the latest java and your away.
Some flaws well only 2 that concerned me was: 1/ I could not view a partially downloaded video file, (which means u could end up with crap).
2/ search results were no where as good as with XP, in fact i found it dismal in returning accurate numbers and titles.
Oh yeah and it was a little slow starting up.
I have gone back to XP because of these reasons and have enjoyed my limewire experience to the fullest again. If anyone knows of any solutions to the first problem I would love to know as it frustrated me.
thanks to all this is my first time on a blog.
regards horse67
